OxygenOS 15, which is based on Android 15, incorporates an array of cutting-edge features such as parallel animation processing, AI tools, and more. The new Live Alerts feature is one of those, synonymous with Apple’s Dynamic Island, which pops up with real-time updates from certain apps in a neat pill-shaped capsule, located at the top of your screen. This tutorial discusses the use and personalization of Live Alerts to provide you with a better experience on OxygenOS 15.
