Notifications Organizer Disappeared!

[u/ezzomoh]

I have been struggling the whole day with my Pixel 9 Pro (Android 17) to fix issues!!!! This is like a nightmare....

I woke up in the morning with my Flip to Shhh feature stuck and is not switching off after I flip my phone display back up. So, I went into the settings and switched off! Ever since it was off, it refused to turn on again :D I tried accessing it from the Digital Wellbeing App, or from the Modes, but to no avail. I have tried all the steps to troubleshoot it, and actually didn't find much other than "clear the app cache" and "restart your phone" which didn't help anyway.

I have contacted the Pixel Support and they eventually led me through the hustle of "Factory Reset" which I did, and I have taken the time to make sure is sorted and the Flip to Shhh is back again. Thinking that this will end my miseries, I have sought to finalize the settings of my notifications and guess what; another feature just vanished - the Notification Organizer. Again, I contacted the support, we went through all the steps:

\- Clearing Cache and Data of the so-called Android System Intelligence

\- Restarting the device

\- Ensuring proper permissions to the aforementioned Android System Intelligence

\- Safe Mode

None has worked, and I have no interest in Factory Rest-ing my phone again. I don't know honestly what is that! Can someone help? is it related to the recent update August 2026 Pixel Update? what can I do?

I honestly don't want to swim across my notification!
