I can't think of a single notification that I'd ever want to be unable to dismiss. Good riddance. Likely shady apps were abusing them to push ads and shit.
I'm glad my dexcom app has a persistent notification. I can check my blood sugar and rate of change with a quick swipe down rather than launching the app
Or maybe I misunderstood what OP is talking about
Yep stuff like that
I didn't use persistent notifications much, past my little Todo thing, but I know there are a lot of apps that work like that.
If you've updated already, do those notifications disappear? Worth checking if you haven't yet. Otherwise hopefully your Dexcom app adds a quick settings tile or something.
I'm still on 13. (S22+)
So hopefully there is a good workaround once Samsung rolls out the next update.
You could also simply not dismiss the notification?
It's just too easy to accidentally dismiss one when trying to dismiss another
The current things I have them for is an internet traffic monitor and reminders to do things (usually just one thing in there), the traffic monitor might as well be in the status bar instead but I can't get it there, and I like to have the reminders persistent so I don't accidentally get rid of them and forget about them
I would still be able to dismiss it, just with extra steps than a swipe. Now all notifications behave the same for me.
They could have made this change in a way where you would need to long tap to force dismiss. Even if the current implementation was the default, having that option would be helpful for those that need it. I also came across complaints from people using things like HomeAssistant, where security and control notifications no longer work right.
Also if a shady app was messing with my notifications I'd just uninstall it.
