I was able to fix that, but the notifications still show up as these big colorful cards that take up half the screen and don't allow for a proper overview like before.&nbsp;</P><P>How do I get back to a normal notifications list that doesn't look like I'm using a phone made for the elderly?</P><P>I need to be able to read permanent notifications (VPN, download speed, background activity, etc.) as well as regular notifications at a glance since I'm always on the road.</P><P>&nbsp;I deactivated the 'show app icons in notifications" option in the advanced notifications settings, to no avail. I'm still dealing with these big notification cards for kids instead of a proper list.</P><P>Nothing in the accessibility settings either, reducing the font size doesn't get rid of the app icons or rounded cards.&nbsp; If anything, it makes them look bigger.</P><P>I'll be diving into the developer options to see if there is a way to get rid of the christmas tree and go back to something that's practical and professional, because this isn't it.</P><P>Maybe there is a third-party app that allows normal notifications display?</P><P>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</P> Mon, 26 May 2025 17:37:51 GMT TealSeal 2025-05-26T17:37:51Z
