S25 ultra Messages Grouped/stacked notifications

[Tkarbo]

Is this new in One UI 7?

When I get text notifications from multiple people they stack/group and displays the number to the right of the tile. And I need to click it for it to expand to see everything.

Remember on my s24 each text got their own tile.

I keep missing notifications from texts cause they are being grouped.

How can I disable this?

I have two suggestions until a fix/modification (if this actually will be addressed) is implemented with the next software update. Go to setting/notifications and toggle on "Notification alerts". Then, then open the section and choose what to modify, like repeating alerts in time intervals, and to which app to apply those settings as well as turning on "Vibrate when sound plays".

The other option is to sue Good Lock module from the Galaxy Store an open that, then install the plugin "NotiStar" . That particular plugin will show up as an app shortcut in the app drawer. Make a spot on the home screen for it and open with when you get notifications in your status bar. It will open every notification and even provide some details. Clicking on the notification will open the relevant app connected to that notification.

I appreciate the work around here, my actual issue is that while working I often just glance at my phones locked screen, and if I don't see any pertinent notifications, I just go about my work.

So an initial text comes in that's not worth breaking stride, then it's all I see, even though there are important texts hidden beneath it.

Breaking the habit I've had since the S8 Active is tough lol

OK, then try this; by going to Notifications/Advanced settings then toggle on "Manage notification categories for each app", the go back to the top and click on "sort notifications" and choose by priority. Now back out to the Notification section, open do not disturb and toggle tha ton, then go back a screen, then choose App notifications, then add the apps to allow during do not disturb.

That's how I have it currently. It does help. I appreciate your time and I'll hope they fix this issue in the future software updates

Tbh, it should not be that hard a process like going through those setting in the first place. One should just be able to set preference to what messages are most important as chosen by the user, etc.

Also, I forgot to mention that in NotiStar by clicking on the 3 vertical dots in the right of the keyword search bar, a filter list can be used and apps chosen not to trigger notifications at. On installation, it by default sets every app being enabled. If when there is time like when at home, play around with it and see of that helps even more. In the end, I hope everything gets sorted out. Have a good day!

What is your notification pop-up style set to, brief or detailed?  I think maybe brief gets grouped, but detailed would be individual. Not sure, though, since all my notifications are set to brief.  There is a setting, though, to exclude an app from brief notifications. I assume that means that that app will show detailed, individual notifications and not be grouped. Also, make sure that lockscreen notifications are set to show content (at least for the app in question).  I'm trying an experiment on that now.  I have excluded a single app that I know groups notifications to see if they now come in individually.  Here's hoping I get some multiples today.

Everything is on Brief. Do Not Disturb is always on now with all messages and all calls allowed. (That's annoying in itself sometimes that I have to do that).

In my perfect world all of my social media notifications would get grouped by app with brief notifications andthe number. And all my calls and messages would be individual brief notifications. Those are more important to me

I think it may be the way the apps themselves are programmed for notifications.  My experiment failed (somewhat).  The notifications are still grouped (I used this app's notifications as the tester), but when I expand it does show me the whole message, which had vexed me that it didn't.  The only thing I can suggest for you if you want to distinguish important texts from inconsequential would be to have notification categories on and set a different notification sound for certain conversations. For instance, if you want to know when messages from your wife come through, set that conversation's sound to something different than the app default.  If you have sounds turned off, perhaps flagging that conversation as priority would separate it from the herd.  Sorry, that's all I got. The other user's suggestion of using Notistar may help but, as I understand it, even with the app shortcut on the lock screen you would still have to open the app, which is not what you want; but at least it only takes one tap to see all your notifications.  You can set Notistar to only show the notifications from the apps that bundle.  All other notifications will still appear on your screen as normal, I believe. At least if you have to tap the Notistar icon, it's easier than trying to precisely hit the arrow on the bundled notifications.

What is the point of putting do not disturb on and then allowing everything to come through?  Kind of defeats the purpose.

They just updated my s23 ultra and broke it with this feature. I absolutely HATE my phone now. I can't wait for the weekend so I can go get something different!
