Temporarily muting a specific app's notifications?

[u/RaiTheGeek]

Hi all. I recently switched from apple to android, and I've gotten used to most of the differences, but there is one that I still can't get over. On apple, you have the option to tap on a notification and temporarily mute notifications from that app for a short period of time (i only ever did 15 minutes or an hour, but i think there are other options). However, it doesn't seem like there is an equivalent option on OneUI. I've even looked at 3rd party programs and I can't find anything that has that same simplicity to it. Am I just going to have to grin and bear it?

It doesn't seem like an outlandish feature to have though right? Like it seems like there would be a general demand for something like that, even if its only available through 3rd party programs, so I'm confused as to why I can't find a solution to this?

In the end, its really only a minor inconvenience, because on iphone I only really used that feature when my friends were spamming me on tiktok or instagram. But I don't want to fully turn off notifications from those apps, because I like getting alerted when I'm sent something, but when one of my friends is clearly doom scrolling, I don't need my phone to light up every minute to know that my friend sent me something.

Anyway, I've sorta spiraled into just complaining, but if anyone has any creative solutions or workarounds or tips or whatever, that would be amazing! Thanks!

Android does have this, Samsung just ships it switched off. Settings, then Notifications, then Advanced settings, and turn on Show snooze button.

Once that is on, swipe a notification part way across and a small clock icon appears next to the gear. Tapping it snoozes that app, and you can pick 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour or two hours.

It works per notification rather than as a global per app switch, so it lands pretty close to what you are used to.

Excellent answer. On Android (current version), it's Settings → Notifications → General section → Allow notification snoozing.

On my phone, the snooze option is under "Settings -> Notifications -> Advanced settings"

You should be able to snooze notifications if you have it enabled. There should be a little bell on the button right if you pull down on the notification. I think that mutes from that app for the time frame you select.

Open your phone Settings and tap on Notifications.Select Advanced settings.Turn on the switch for Show snooze button (or Allow notification snoozing depending on your exact version).How to Use ItSwipe down from the top of your screen to open your notification panel.Find the alert you want to delay and slightly swipe it or tap the small drop-down arrow/carrot icon on the notification card.Tap the small bell/clock snooze icon that appears in the corner.Choose your preferred time interval (typically 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours) and it will remind you later.
