Disable notification grouping

[OneUI7isaBad1]

I'm really regretting upgrading to Android 15/UI7.

There has to be a way to disable notification grouping.  The groupings make little to no sense. 

Multiple messages from different sources all grouped under one notification.  

3 sms from 3 different numbers. 1 notification. Zero sense.

I've looked around online and can't find anything useful.

Please help.

You  had no choice in upgrading to OneUI 7/Android 15 - updates are mandatory. The groupings do make sense.  If you get text messages from your messaging app, they are all grouped together regardless of whether they were sent by a single contact or multiple contacts.  All you need do is tap the message bubble for it to split into individual messages.  Messages are grouped by app, not sender.  You will find the same if you get notifications for email.  You cannot change this.  It is what it is. Even if your eye is not trained to see the circled number telling you how many notifications there are on the right edge of the bubble, just tapping it will let you know if it is one or many. If it doesn't break into individual notifications, you know it's only one.  If you get an array of multiple bubbles, you will see the individual notifications.

Not true.  I had updates disabled.  The update was an unfortunate mistake.

Just like the decision to group notifications.  Surely Samsung will correct this, or someone will devise a workaround.

Doesn't matter if you have updates disabled.  Updates are mandatory.  You cannot actually disable them. What you *can* do is disable auto downloading over wi-fi, but eventually, when an update is available you will be prompted to download and install.  You can only postpone or ignore the prompt 3 times, or you can schedule it for a convenient time.  After that, the download and install will proceed automatically.  Updates are mandatory.

This is not factually correct.

Also not the topic of discussion

It actually is the topic of discussion as you said you regretted installing the update.  You had no choice to refuse the update.  If you don't like the response, delete your post.  You will not hear differently from anyone else, and the notifications cannot be unstacked, other than by tapping on the bubble.

As I said before they can be disabled.

Notification groupings cannot be disabled, if they could, you wouldn't be posting here for how to do it.  Updates cannot be disabled, but go on, live in your fantasy that they can.  Ask anyone who had the updates disabled and *still* had the update forced on them.  There's a 283 page thread on it.

 Shhh

That is auto download.  It will not download automatically until you are prompted to download and install the update.  Once the prompt appears in your notifications, you only have three opportunities to ignore it or schedule it.  After that, it's going to install anyway.  ONCE AGAIN, YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.  Once upon a time, updates were optional, they are no longer. The only option is *when* they get installed.  If you have the updates set to download automatically, they will download and wait (again, you will get three prompts), to install themselves.  The only thing turning it off accomplishes is that when the update is available, you will be prompted to download it, instead of it already being there.  See what happens when Android 16 comes out at the end of the year.
