Google Chrome on Android can now automatically revoke notification permissions from sites that you rarely visit to prevent spam and unnecessary clutter.
When you visit a new website using Chrome on Android, you may receive a request to enable notifications. These notifications are meant to help you track meeting reminders, deals, news updates, and various announcements. You can block them by choice, but if you allow them, there’s always a chance some sites may abuse the feature by sending intrusive or misleading notifications. Thanks to a recent update, however, Google quietly changed this Chrome feature on your Android phone. Now, these notification permissions will automatically be removed for websites you don’t visit often, or those with low user engagement but a high volume of notifications.
That said, notification permissions will not be revoked automatically for installed web apps — the website-based apps you can install when you visit certain sites. When or if notification permissions are removed, Chrome will notify you, so it’s not a secret.
