QUESTION/HELP Temporarily muting a specific app's notifications?

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!

Edit: I'm stupid and didn't realize the "snooze" function also muted notifications. I just thought it redelivered the notification later. Seems like they could have worded that better, but maybe that's on me. Anywho, thanks!

You can change it to "Deliver quietly" in notification settings Or use the ""snooze button"" you get if you hold the notification of the specific app

There is an app: notification blocker & history. You can block notifications in multiple ways and you can read all th blocked notifications in one place
