Enhanced Notifications Replaces Adaptive Notifications
Android 10 added Adaptive Notifications, a feature that used AI to adjust the order in which it arranged notifications. Android 12 changes to Adaptive Notifications and changes the name to Enhanced Notifications, though the difference is not obvious.
Android 12 adds a feature called Enhanced Notifications. This has caused some confusion because Enhanced Notifications are effectively Adaptive Notifications with a few UI tweaks (which, because Android 12 is currently in beta, are subject to change). Android 12 users looking for the features of Adaptive Notifications will want to use Enhanced Notifications.
Another source of confusion is the Adaptive Notifications Ranking toggle included in the developer mode. This is no longer present in the beta and presumably won't appear in the final release of Android 12.
