New notification behaviors

[itneveroccurred]

So two things I just realized with the new notification behavior:

1. Not only did they move the clear button ALL THE WAY to the bottom right instead of just below the notifications themselves

2. Now when you press clear, persistent notifications that you want to stay will now ALSO disappear which is even more bs than before.

We already complained before how they made it where you can accidentally swipe away persistent notifications when before they used to be locked, but at least the clear button wouldn't remove them. Now in this update it removes EVERYTHING.

This is the most infuriating part because I have to open the apps back up everytime I want their persistent notifications to come back. I can already picture some guy in the comments with the most useless reply telling me "just don't use the clear button" just so he can get all the dumb Samsung badges, but when I wake up with YouTube and other apps that filled up my notifications I tend to just use the clear all button.

Genuinely might switch to another phone that isn't Samsung if this is the new norm!

Edit: Found a solution in good lock within the notistar app, again, crazy the hoops we have to jump through with these updates:

Blame Google for persistent notifications clearing. That change was made a number of Android versions ago and mandated for OEMs to implement in Android 14 (One UI 6).

Yes, I know the behavior changed from UI 6 to 7. No, I don't know why. Yes, it irritates me too.

I might have to make a quick tile macro that only removes every notification except from these 3 apps because of this, crazy the hoops I have to jump through now.

How bout this one. I don't even get the clear notifications. Soooo yeah. This has been extremely frustrating

Man that's even worse, couldn't imagine having to swipe away each one individually.

Did you clear device cache partition after updating?

[carbpower]

Yes I did. I did all troubleshooting i can think of. I used to be a manager at a Verizon Wireless retail store so it's not like I'm not tech savvy. That's the even more frustrating part. It's like an unbeatable challenge for me

And the notifications aren't stacked, either. That's very strange.

You should definitely submit feedback to Samsung, using the support tab at the bottom of the Members app. Pick the "send feedback" option and follow the prompts. Don't close the app until prompted.

Try Good Lock's NotiStar module.  You read all your notifications on the lock screen or in the app, save them or clear them.  Clearing them from the app or the lock screen will clear them from the notification area, but clearing them from the notification area won't clear them from the app.  Helpful if you swiped away a notification by accident.  And the good part is that if you hate it, you can turn it off.
