We’ve all been there. Our phone notifications are coming in thick and fast, and we quickly dismiss them to get the notification icons off our screen. Then we realize that we’ve been doing it on autopilot and have swiped away something important without properly registering what it was or which app it came from.
If you recognize this scenario, you’ll be pleased to know there’s an easy way to avoid the “Oh, wait! What was that?” scenario. Phones using Android 11 or later have the option to retain your notification history and let you access it even after you’ve dismissed the information from your home screen.
