Now Bar

[Barnsworth59]

I've noticed that the Now Bar is cleared from notifications when you swipe down from the status bar and hit clear. 

I would think that the Now Bar and the notifications for all other apps should be seperate. When swiping down from the status bar and hitting the clear button the Now Bar should still be there and if you would want the now bar cleared you could just swipe it to the right to clear it. 

I say this because I have cleared the now bar by hitting clear and once it's gone I have yet to find a way to get the live notification back up.

Just a thought.

Hello,

Thank you for your insightful feedback regarding the Now Bar behavior. You're absolutely right—Live Notifications like the Now Bar are designed to provide persistent, ongoing updates, and we understand how frustrating it can be when they disappear after using the “Clear” function in the notification panel.

Your suggestion to separate Live Notifications from general notifications and allow individual dismissal (e.g., swipe right) makes a lot of sense and aligns with the core usability intent of this feature.

We've shared this idea with the development team for further review. In the meantime, we recommend reopening the app or triggering the event again (such as reopening a supported media or sports app) to reactivate the Now Bar, although we understand this may not always work as expected.

Thanks again for helping improve One UI with your valuable input!

Best regards,
One UI Beta Team
