Do you use multiple mobile devices? If they all run Android, you can\u00a0get rid of\u00a0missing notifications<\/strong>\u00a0on your work phone while using your home phone or tablet \u2014 whether it\u2019s calls, messages, or notifications from office apps like Mail<\/strong>,\u00a0Skype<\/strong>,\u00a0Slack<\/strong>, and\u00a0WhatsApp<\/strong>. It sounds pretty useful; don\u2019t you agree?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s most interesting? You can not just see the notifications but also take quick actions on those notifications. That means you can\u00a0like, reply, or delete a notification<\/strong>\u00a0as you can take action on a notification on your phone in hand. If it feels the right solution for you, then let\u2019s check out the process in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, let\u2019s start with the basic things you require for completing this tutorial. It\u2019s as easy as fulfilling these two requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Android devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need to have two or more devices running Android 5<\/strong> or later. They can be phones or tablets or even smartwatches \u2014 between which \u2014 you wish to sync notifications. Do note that the app (Bridge) only works on Android Lollipop or later version, so you must have it on all your mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridge (an app)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You must download and install Bridge<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 the app we\u2019re going to use for this tutorial \u2014 on all of your devices. You can click the aforementioned link or search for \u201cBridge\u201d on the Google Play Store<\/strong> and install it on your mobile phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bridge is the app that bridges your devices together \u2014 two or more running the Android OS. It syncs the notifications from one or more devices<\/strong> to other one or multiple devices per settings. Moreover, it supports all the superb notification goodies supported by Android. And did I tell it\u2019s free too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, you can swipe a notification to dismiss on one device<\/strong>, and it gets dismissed on the original device as well. Moreover, you can reply to a message on one device, and it gets sent from the original account\/device. However, the app is free to use for just 15 days, and you must pay to continue using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not all, it\u2019s super-packed on security features as well. It supports Android Smart Lock, so you can effortlessly log in on all your mobile devices. Additionally, it encrypts all your notifications end-to-end<\/strong> for improved security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use Bridge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bridge is super easy to use. When you first open it, sign up for an account and then log in to all your devices<\/strong> with the same account information. After you are done with setting it up on all devices, continue with the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • You\u2019ll see the list of devices;\u00a0check the ones<\/strong>\u00a0to wish to send notifications from your other devices (maybe your office phone or tablet).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    • If you wish to select the apps to mirror the notifications for,\u00a0click the square icon<\/strong>\u00a0in the top bar. You\u2019ll see the list of installed apps;\u00a0select all the apps<\/strong>\u00a0for you wish to receive mirrored notifications on all devices. Of course, if you don\u2019t select any app, all apps will get mirrored.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      • That is all. Now notifications from your devices will mirror on to your other devices running Android and having this app configured.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Fixes and Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Q. How to encrypt the sync process?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        In Bridge, click the gear icon in the top bar, then enter a password in the \u201cEncryption key<\/strong>\u201d field. You need to repeat this process on all your devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Q. How to mirror when I\u2019m not using the device?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        In the app, click the cog icon, scroll down, and select the checkbox titled \u201cOnly mirror notifications when screen is off<\/strong>\u201c. It will allow you to get notifications on your other devices only when you\u2019re not using the primary device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
