New phone, lots of questions, most of which I am figuring out myself ok. But here is another I cannot get figured out.
First a simple question: What is the icon shown at the red arrow at the top of photo one? It looks like an "N" but what would that be for? Maybe something saying I am using Nova Launcher? Just can't find anywhere what that icon is.
Now the main question:
When I get notifications on my top status bar and then drag it down to read them, the notifications are partially hidden within a dropdown option. See attached photo #1. I have to open the notification all the way or tap the dropdown symbol to see more of the notification and the options for responding. (as shown in photo #2). On an email or text this also means when I look at the notification, I have to do the 2nd step in order to see a summary of some of the text. On my old Pixel 2, I did not need to do this. The notifications were always displayed from the start as in photo 2 so I could tell at a glance what they all said. This also is an issue with front door camera notifications. Now they show as in photo 3 below whereas on my Pixel they always started out as shown in photo 4. Now I always have to open or dropdown the camera notification to see the image.
This may not seem like a big deal on just one notification. But when I have 5 or 6 notifications it is an annoyance. Before, I could see enough of all 6 notifications to be able to just clear the whole list for later with one step to pull down the notification bar and a 2nd step to dismiss them all. Now with 6 notifications, I need to open all six of them one at a time to know if I can dismiss them. So with 6 notifications on my Pixel there were 2 steps needed. On my S22 with six notifications, there are at least 7 steps needed to do the same thing.
How can I set my S22 Ultra to show these notifications dropped down right from the start?
