why would you want non-dismissable notifications?

Some apps have useful information that you can glance using the notification, like Tasker or those Battery monitoring apps. Dismissing those notifications is a pain in the ass for users that use them

Persistent apps running in the background. One constant complaint many have is background apps that should be left alone killed by battery-saving stuff. One of the ways to prevent this from happening that devs have used is persistent notifications. Killing this option fucks up lots of apps that are supposed to run in the background. I guess i’ll stay away from Android 14 for now.

i just go into the app i want to save and select unrestricted instead of optimized if i don’t want it to go to sleep.

wasn’t the notification thing an exploit anyway?

One example would be always showing the current weather.

mate, I am fully aware I can do that, but then I am say at work, where it gets loud at times, and therefore wish to have the ringer and notifications call a bit louder than at home. Not only do I have to do that with two different settings, I can’t even achieve that using volume buttons and sound panel, but rather have to specifically go to Settings>Sound each time. it’s fucking regressive.

And I know some people prefer to have the ringer call loudly and notifications notify silently, but the point is this used to be customisable! It was a switch between linked volume or separate and it worked fine for years. Why enshittify a perfectly well working thing?!

I’ve been using tasker to manage my ringer profiles for so long I didn’t even realize this. When at work (within radius) and connected to the office WiFi the ringer is set to 1 out of 7 level. When out in the manufacturing facility it’s disconnected from WiFi and I’m still inside the radius so the ringer goes to 7 out of 7 level. Works like a charm!

that’s really weird, it’s in the little sound panel for me

I’m using a Pixel, maybe your manufacturer implemented it wrong for some reason

I only have Media (shows by default), Ring and Alarm (after expanding) in there. But then again, I’m running a custom rom, based on LineageOS, based on AOSP
