Hey all,
Recently switched over to a Galaxy S6 from iPhone, and completely loving it so far.
One feature I can't seem to track down is how to specify notification settings per app.
Examples:
-Gmail app- I want to add a badge notification when I get an email, but don't want a lock screen notification. (Which by the way badges seem to weirdly appear or not at random... ex, I'll get badge notifications on the Facebook app, and sometimes not, and I've never seen a badge icon appear on any other app besides FB, and have found no option to turn on or off badge notifications).
-Playstation app- I want notifications on the lock screen, but don't want it to play a sound or vibrate
-Messages- I want all notification options on; vibrate, sound, badge, and notification on lock screen
All I can seem to find is the 'App notifications' under 'Sounds and notifications' in Settings... but this only allows you to either turn notifications on/off (they call it 'Block notifications'), which will completely turn off notifications.
I'd be surprised if there was no way to affect certain aspects of a notification per app... this is a basic feature on iOS. I also realize you can go into say the Gmail app for instance for more notification settings... but again you're only given the option to turn them on or off. And Gmail is one of the only apps that even allows you to do this.
TL;DR Am I missing how to customize notifications for specific apps? I'd assume there is a way to change the way notifications appear per app (ie, sound, vibrate, badge, lock screen) more than just turning them completely on or off.
Thanks a million for your help!
