In notification bar it groupes now all notifications from the same app in 1 notification line,rather than show them in separate lines,like in other Notes . If i dismiss or click on 1 of them it dismisses all in the group before i have a chance to read them. Is there a way to dismiss only 1 at a time or ungroup them, is there any setting i'm missing. Lot of times i need to dismiss 1 or 2 and keep others from the same app. Very annoing and cant find answer anywhere.Thank you for your reply.
Yes, in Note 7, notifications are grouped like those in Nougat. It seems there are no options for users to switch back to the old individual notifications.
If you really hate this feature, you can try Samsung's own Good Lock app (from Galaxy Apps, NOT the one in Play store). But the latest udpate of Good Lock in Note 7 causes a lot of battery drain issues. You may wait one or two weeks to install a newer version.
