https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S24/UI-7-0-Live-Notifications-Cluttered-with-Media-Live-quot-Now-Bar/m-p/3264164#M98052 You want to blame someone, blame Google. I have both phones, an S25U and a Pixel 9proXl. Google and Samsung worked together on Samsung's version of Android 15/ Ui7 almost all the things that were introduced in Ui7 are now in Google's Android 16.<BR />How do I know, I have Beta 16 on my Pixel, everything that changed in the notification area of Samsung phones is now on my Pixel or going to be on my Pixel.<BR /><BR />I have media player turned off on my NowBar/ Live Notifications. I don't mind touching my phone to do things when It comes to media. I either pull down the Control Panel or use one of the multiple media widgets on my homescreens depending which I am using.<BR /><BR />I adapt, to the change. Find a solution to what are my needs and wants. I have set custom tones for everything that is important, Messages, Email, categories in Email they all have a tone, and I know exactly what is coming in when it comes in.<BR /><BR />I also have my notifications prioritized so they appear always on top instead of time.<BR /><BR /><BR /> Tue, 10 Jun 2025 16:03:35 GMT Robin621k 2025-06-10T16:03:35Z
