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:
