Never miss a call, never miss a notification

Page 23 of 24 MCP / API open OTA updates

On iOS, ANCS (Apple Notification Center Service) delivers system notifications and incoming-call alerts, shown instantly on screen with source and a content summary; HID consumer keys answer, decline and mute.

The Android notification pipeline is far more closed, so for Android this page offers only HID consumer keys and a dial pad. The boundary is stated on the page itself β€” no over-promising.

⚠ Boundaries & notes
  • The ESP32-S3 has no Bluetooth Classic, so HFP audio calls and PBAP contact sync are not possible.
  • ANCS is iOS-only; reading Android notifications requires system-level permissions this product does not provide.
