Can't turn off pop up notification on android Pie

[Android Central Question]

I hate pop up notifications , I really find them useless and intrusive, I always have them off. I just bought a 2xl and upgraded to Android pie, and I can't seem to turn off heads up or pop up notifications. Is it actually no longer a feature ?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'heads up or pop up' notifications. Are you referring to the notifications that show up at the top of the screen, which you can access by dragging down from the Status bar?
In any case, most notifications are application dependent - you should be able to turn them off in the offending application.
