supercarblondie.com • • technology
Key Points:
- An Android user discovered the built-in "Notification history" feature, which logs all notifications even after they are cleared, solving the common issue of accidentally swiped-away alerts and lost one-time codes.
- Once enabled in Settings under Notifications, this feature allows users to view missed alerts in chronological order, showing which app sent them and when, providing a reliable backup for important notifications.
- The feature only records notifications after activation and does not support direct interaction with action buttons from the history list, but it significantly reduces anxiety about missing critical alerts.
- Enabling Notification history is straightforward, though its location may vary by device, such as under Advanced notification settings on Samsung phones, and it also helps users identify and manage apps that send excessive notifications
