same experience here but am a pixel person, not samsung. why is the notification experience on iOS so bad? it feels like doing chores.

i figure system settings are annoying because the default is good enough for most users.

My main gripe was that each notification was a separate bar item that I had to clear out - five messages from the same person in the same app, is five notification bars in the menu. And the "smart" grouping I don't think fixes that.

I like MacOS okay, but re: notifications, they too have this abysmally small "X" to clear out notifications. They're just... annoying.

The goofy thing is that I remember when iOS used to be _better_ at notifications. Android didn't used to give you so much control over app notifications and iOS required apps to use them much more sparingly.

I still have issues with Android's notifications though. Some apps insist on using a single "General" category that includes both notifications I require as well as marketing and advertisements.
