That's great news. I hate undismissable notifications and I always thought they were an awkward workaround for apps that needed to stay in the background and not be terminated or put to sleep by battery saving features
And as long as things keep working, I think dropping this feature is a great idea.
That's not so great because now you don't know when an app is running in the background.
It also makes it harder for notifications you actually do want to persist like OPs - I use AccuBatterry and don't want to be able to dismiss by accident.
we've always had plenty of apps running in the background that don't use notifications
I think notifications should never persist. There should be an entire different UI concept for apps that need to have information displayed at all times - like a widgets drawer or shade. Having a notification displayed at all times defeat the purpose of a notification, which should be ephemeral, momentary.
Not true. This shows at the bottom of the notification shade, tells you how long the app has been running a service and lets you stop it.
Oohh thanks! TIL. Now I wonder if I need Samsung Health to be always on, to be honest...
Fair enough, I just wish it was a long tap or something instead of a swipe (or having long tap be an option that you could enable)
I like being able to dismiss some, like my voicemail or background apps
