That's weird. Is it really that difficult on IOS?
I'm not being snarky or sarcastic, but as I don't use Apple gear, I had no idea.
On my mobile device, I just swipe down to pull up all notifications, then pull them up a bit (if necessary) to reveal a 'clear all' option, and they're all gone, both on-screen and in the status bar.
As for sharing state between all devices, that's more complicated.
I guess it would be nice, but I'm not sure I want to give whatever application that performs such actions that much access into my life. Especially if it was something controlled "in the cloud" (read: On someone else's servers). Even more so if it was owned/controlled by the user data Mafia (Google, FB, Apple, etc.)
- crazygringo 6y agoNo, clearing notifications isn't difficult. It's the fact that every time I switch devices I have to look at my notifications, figure out if any are new or if they're all ones I've seen before on a previous device, and then clear them. It's nothing specific to Android or iOS or PC's or Macs, the problem is the same everywhere. And I'm not talking about any single centralized access or "mafia". The only entity with the ability to remove a notification would be the one that sent it in the first place. The notification is identified by a unique non-predictable UUID. Zero user data or privacy concerns, and security should be straightforward with existing technologies.
