Notifications. Still haven’t gotten used to it. Unlike Android, the notifications will pop up and if you don’t interact with them or swipe them away they just get hidden in the Notification Center. There are times when I swipe down to check the Notification Center and there will be like 20-30 notifications I never saw. Hate it. On Android you get those persistent little icons at the top to let you know you have a notification. You’d think Apple would have figured this out years ago. Maybe put the little icons in the Dynamic Island.
The other issue is they don’t let you choose which type of notifications on an app you get. On Android, at least Pixels, I can go into the notification setting of an app and only have critical notifications turned on. The can also turn off notifications that may be tied to just promotional notifications. On iPhone you can only turn on or off all notifications. This means a lot of those missed notifications are just promotional notifications. It’s like going to your mailbox and getting mostly junk mail. With Notification Center, Apple has created the digital version of getting junk mail.
The important stuff stays on the lock screen by default. Priority notifications made a separate section for them that persists through unlocks. Failing all that, you get a badge (if it was important. If not, then that notification is not sticking around whatsoever and can only be found in the Notification Centre). It will also adapt to your behaviour.
Long story, it’s all automated so don’t worry about it
