How do you folks do it??

The notifications are hidden (no icons on top near the clock) inside the notifications tray. And then, the notifications from locked screen also disappear when I unlock the phone.

If I leave a message unanswered to check later, I completely forget it’s there, hidden in the notifications panel.

I’m not used to go after notifications, they usually are there waiting for me on android. And I know that by check the icons near the clock. Do you all have the habit of checking the notifications panel? How do you do it?

    I believe the way iOS handles notifications is philosophically different from Android, and even though I think it is also functionally lacking, I don’t believe it is something that can be made to work as in Android.

    My advice is to learn to live with it or switch back. I’m okay with it now but it’s not for everyone.

      Ironically, after switching from android I’m missing less notifications. Having the small icons on top let me know that I had a WhatsApp message. But since I am in so many groups, my brain just assume it’s from the group and ignores it.

      On iPhone, the notifications showing up on the lock screen lets me know if I received a message from a direct message or from a group and I check it out. Also, not having the small icons on top makes go for the notification bar more often.

      Went from Android to an iPhone 13 two years ago. I’ll probably stick with apple from now on, but holy hell do I miss the notifications on my Pixel. That along with smart lock and Android Auto are the things I really miss.
