I just upgraded to OneUI 8 and the notification grouping feature is causing problems.  I'd like to be able to disable it, specifically for a single app.  I am a Type 1 diabetic and use the Dexcom G7 to keep track of my blood sugar level.  The Dexcom app sends two constant notifications, one is my blood sugar level and the other is a notification that says "Dexcom app is running."  Previously both would be displayed so I could simply hit a button and see my blood sugar.  Now the notification with my blood sugar level stacks below the "running" notification so I have to tap the group to see it.  This is especially bad if I am very busy or driving and need to quickly peek at my blood sugar level.

  

The other issue is that on OneUI 7 the dexcom notifications were given top priority and were always at the top of my phone.  Now they get pushed down by unimportant notifications such as wifi networks, discord messages, and weather.  I had notifications set to priority rather than latest, but I dont even see the option on One UI 8.   

 

Thankfully the emergency alert for low or high blood sugar works fine.

  

Any help would be appreciated.

I also join the general indignation. Notification grouping is a terrible feature! There should be an option to disable it!

yeah, forcing this on users was a terrible decision. If anyone from Samsung is reading or cares: Here's the thing, notifications are not in fact useful if you don't see them. Reminders are one of the main things I use my phone for... guess I'm going to have to stop buying Samsung products if I want it to actually be useful.

Hopping in on the complaint. Keep missing time sensitive emails, since I'm used to them being separated. Lost tons of work already from this 😮💨

This is the first and last time I buy a Samsung phone. I'm sick and tired of them breaking features with every system update. I've had enough.

Same here, it doesn't play nice with Officemail pro. We should be able to disable this "feature".

I constantly keep discarding 'hidden' notifications because for more than a decade one could assume one notification element means one notification, but that's no longer the case thanks to Samdung's devs.
