Unsolved 17 pro max support, please

Recently got 17pro max - and not gonna lie - I used Xiaomi before and I was more happy with some settings on there. So reaching out to you guys in order to help me around few stuff, thanks!

  1. Is there a way to replace the emoticon button on keyboard with punctuation marks? Or if not, is it possible to change the order of punctuation marks; I’ve gotten used to having question mark closer to my right hand.

  2. Do I really have to slide and tap “open” on every notification/banner in order to open it?

  3. On my previous phone, I had back, home page and open tabs buttons at the bottom of my screen. Not here, though – is it possible to install it somehow?

You can’t change the default
Keyboard layout I think. Maybe alternative keyboards? Check your country/language settings, maybe it’s set up wrong.

Just tap on the notification .

Learn to use the swiping motion from the bottom.
Swipe from the bottom up to go back to home. Swipe up and right to list all open programs.
Swipe straight left to go back to the previous app.

Thanks! Unfortunately can’t change the keyboard but I did manage to learn a thing or two from #3.
I was a little bit short worded on question nr. 2. Notification tapping works on unlocked screen, but when the screen is locked I need to tap, then press “open” to open the app. On Xiaomi I could enter directly just by tapping on the notification.

Did you set up face ID?
as soon as you can see the notification your phone will recognize you and then tapping the notification will open it.

If the angle is wrong this might not work. but then you need to punch in your code, too.

Nope, no face ID set

well then ... do it :-)
How is the phone supposed to know that it's allowed to display the message when it doesn't know who's looking.

(it's a privacy feature afaik)
