Yep, I have an iPhone for work and a Note 8 as my daily driver, and I cannot stand the notification system on Apple's kit. It's absolutely trash.Notifications on Android is 1 of the biggest reasons why I can't adapt to iOS, no matter how many iPhones I get. I have many apps that I use and I get a ton of notifications, in which Android just has more options available to me that helps with the onslaught, as well as ways to dismiss them.
Go with a company that updates often then. Sony, Google, xiaomi, essential phone etc. Just look at the people who have the Android P beta right now.Just another reason why I wish the cell phone manufacturers would get their shit together when it comes to Android phones and updates. I would switch to an Android phone today if I got brand new OS versions day one like the Pixel devices do. The problem is that I'm on AT&T and they do not carry Pixel devices and I'm not the biggest fan of that device's design either.
Yeah my bad about the other two things but notifications are not grouped in the latest version of iOS. At least not in a sensible manner like Android does.
Companies like Huawei and Samsung don't need to update "on time" because said updates provide nothing new. Android Oreo features have been in Samsung's fork since Lollipop it seems like. With those brands, Google is playing catch up and the only updates you really should be focusing on are security updates, which they generally provide every month or two.Just another reason why I wish the cell phone manufacturers would get their shit together when it comes to Android phones and updates.

This is the truth right here. I'm borrowing an iPad at the moment and the notification system is such obnoxious trash that I've had to disable it. I've never had an issue with notifications on Android (outside of that boneheaded persistent background apps one in Oreo, which they're getting rid of in P).
The main difference is that iOS notifications popup and interrupt whatever you're doing. Calls, texts, etc. Or they pop up on the top and block information up top - say for instance the next turn or other information when GPS navigation is running. Whereas Android will let you keep doing what you're doing without blocking any on-screen information until you explicitly choose to acknowledge the notification/call/text/etc.I've never had a problem either, but I've never used an Android device so I don't know the difference anyway.

Glad to help. Not so glad that I can't take advantage myself.Waaaaaaat? You can clear them force touching? How the fuck am I supposed to find this out by myself?
Thanks! That's wonderful news
Doesn't matter. Should not interrupt anything for any amount of seconds. And again, that's not a good design when that happens while in GPS navigation. There are still other issues, though, like when phone calls take over the entire screen.The little drawer notification that pops up at the top of the screen goes away after three seconds or so though.
brand new OS versions with old features like Android P will finally have a chime when you start charging like OEMs had in Froyo?Just another reason why I wish the cell phone manufacturers would get their shit together when it comes to Android phones and updates.

I already addressed the "temporary" banners that come down from the top. Again, it's still a bad design and that massive screenshot doesn't solve anything. The Android notification system is far superior, more customizable, and less intrusive. And I say that as a current iPhone user.

Is that app level or systemwide? And with no banner, do you still see the notification when anywhere but the home screen? The point with Android is you can see the notification while in a different app with no interruption. It's a far superior solution.Yeah, Apple removed grouping in iOS 10 when they implemented the ugly bubbles. Terrible regression.
You can turn off the banners entirely, as illustrated in the screenshot. No interruptions.
It's app-level. You can disable the banner. You'll see the notification in, say, badge icon format. And it should be on the lock screen too.Is that app level or systemwide?
