Removing Google or Samsung system notifications from pop up on the screen, or at least limiting time to view

Is there a way to remove system notifications for Google or Samsung? I have a Galaxy A26 5G and I am running Android 15.  I am not sure which is sending it but I'd like to stop.  I am including an example for text to Speech. The text notification shows up all the time and stays on longer than I'd like. I also get another one that I don't have a picture of that mentions the home button and drawing a circle around something. I don't know what to do but I know all this information by now and don't need a refresher every time I use the phone. Thanks in advance for your help.google speech.jpg

Firstly, it should only show once, so something is up.

For finding what's making it appear, open the samsung app store and download an app called good lock, then within that, download nice catch.

I'm not 100% sure if the app will be there for you so hopefully it is.

In nice catch, enable toast history. That popup is a toast notification.

Make it appear again. Go back to nice catch, press the toast history words not the check box. It should now tell you the app that made it appear.

The popup itself should only show once when you first use voice to text. A fix idea, look for voice input in settings. Set it to samsung voice input. Uses samsung instead of google, no popup

Thanks for responding.  Unfortunately it is not on my Samsung App Store.  The only reason I use Google Voice instead is it works a little better for me.  When using Samsung, if I end a sentence and say period it writes 'period' while Google gives me '.'

I'm not sure if it's the same but I found an app called good lock on Google Play. I downloaded it but do not see any link to something called nice catch.

It usually looks like this. Good lock works on the S series and some A series. It was recently brought to the Google play store. My guess is your phone isn't supposed to be supported but it appears anyway, so bits are missinghClAOjpQTx.png

Thanks for trying. The one I was able to download called good lock looks nothing like the one you screenshot for me.

  I never had these issues with my previous phone, but rather a whole new set that made me get this one. The whole mess started because I've been trying to find a way to boost notifications with an app. Whenever I would hit the power button and the screen shuts off messages come across but no app notifications. When I turn the screen on and have, for example Twitter, there will be seven notifications I didn't get. There is no setting I haven't tried and see nothing in my settings for stopping doze. This started happening on my previous Samsung phone a little while ago. Up till then everything came across fine and once I shut the screen off it didn't matter. Then it started, and I went on the boards and then called Samsung. After resetting and letting them remote access my phone I still wasn't getting notification. They told me it was the phone so I went and upgraded from a13 to a26.  however Samsung was wrong is it still happening on the new phone. I've downloaded multiple notification apps and even a doze stopper. My phone does not have an Always On Demand setting so I even tried downloading an app to do that. But even with a black screen I'm not sure if keeping the phone always on demand will ruin the screen. This has been a huge mess.

Hi, could you fix this issue on your phone. I have bought an A26 today and I have the same issue, cannot close this notifications. It's very annoying.
