Stacked Notifications - why?

The new iOS-style stacked notifications in OneUI 7 are absolutely awful and far less efficient than what we had before in OneUI 6.1. Previously, I could see multiple notifications from an app grouped together in one compact card. There was no need to expand the card unless I wanted to take action on one of the notifications. Now, I can only see the most recent notification for any given app and I have to expand the stack every time just to see the rest.

This feels like a huge, clunky step backwards so please Samsung at least give us a setting to let us switch back to Android-style listed notifications instead of these stacked ones. 

I was enjoying my S24 Ultra up until this change, but I must admit, I'm seriously thinking of heading back to Pixel now.

I think this is the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. Having separate, individual notifications per app (especially messaging apps) is a must have for me. Swiping down the notification shade and just seeing a single notification for an app makes me think that's all there is. There's plenty of space to show ALL notifications or have the option to opt-in to notification stacking.

 

I think I'm just gonna switch phone manufacturers, guys. This is awful. I cannot believe Samsung pushed this live without an option to disable it. This'll be my last Samsung phone.

I have to agree, I have been in the Samsung Galaxy S family forever BECAUSE it is different from iOS. Now that there is a trend towards iOS, I will look for alternatives. I think Pixel's OS uses the correct way to show notifications? One UI 7 just broke everything that was good with Galaxy phones, now I have to fight my phone to get the information I want.

Hello!
Have there been any updates on this? It seems the entire community wishes for an option to get the OneUI 6.1 options back. Because this is what differentiates Samsung from Apple. If I wanted an iPhone, i'd get an iPhone. I am not paying these prices for an iPhone clone, I will look elsewhere for my next purchase if this is not updated soon, as will many, many of my colleagues, friends and family. This is a disaster. 

Can you confirm that this has been pushed to the dev team? 

Thanks

You might as well get on it then. Cause it's gotten worse with UI8.

It's almost like Samsung is being deliberately obtuse with these "features". You'd almost think they were taking advice from Apple.
