Omg! I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I’m so glad I’m not the only one. The fact you made a video, makes me feel better that I am thinking about the same issues you're having. I’m running iOS 17 beta and they still haven’t fixed it! 😢will be reporting feedback! Great video!
New notication center is so frustration i loved the older notification where you didnt have to swipe up and down back and forth i also let apple know about this hopefully they fix it in the future
I’m visually impaired & HATEEEEE THE NEW IOS NOTIFICATION CRUD! Even the fading as you have to swipe up & down!! Just give me back option FOR STRAIGHT NOT FUNKY CRAP ! Just return my locked Home Screen to black as I always had too!! Even using invert it’s SERIOUSLY EFFD UP! BRUTAL! & shocking as iPhone used to be very sensitive to ppl with vision issues!! Soo open? I CANT READ NOTIFICATIONS WITH BRIGHT APP CRUD BEHIND MY NOTIFICATIONS WHEN PULL SCREEN DOWN! Etc etc! Thnx! Can’t find link to send.. can you share please? Be well! 😎😎
For me as someone who gets a low number of notifications, the Lock Screen is the only notification screen I need or want because it perfectly serves the purpose of bringing to my attention that an app wants to let me know something while the phone is locked and in my pocket. I feel the buzz, hear a ping or see the flash then lift the phone up, the screen displays, I see it’s the weather app, it unlocks using my face and I read the notification, it’s not important so I press the lock button and put it back in my pocket. So to me putting the Lock Screen notifications at the bottom makes no sense, my priority is ease of use and functionality. I could also comment on app icon and notification colours, I really wish I could change the red to something like a light blue. With all the app Icons showing, my Home Screen looks like someone vomited a packet of skittles there. I wish there was a colour saturation slider, as it is I mostly use Greyscale mode. And parallax has gone too. This has not been a good update!
I’m frustrated I need to swipe down, then swipe up. But don’t swipe up from the bottom, swipe up from almost the bottom. Grandma will love this! Notifications have turned into an accessibility nightmare. I need multiple hands just to check my notifications now. I could live without all the fancy new widgets and Lock Screen stuff, but no clear, easy single gesture access to my notifications 100% of the time is a dealbreaker.
iOS 16 ruined my lock screen too. Where are my notifications from 1 hour ago when I put my phone down? well my phone think they shouldn't be shown unless I pull them up, but that means my lockscreen is empty. So it lost all it's entire purpose :(
I actually prefer it that way. Less distracting, more clear. But I agree, a setting would be nice. One that actually works, because focus modes have one but it's not clear to me what it actually does
Yeah, I love the Lock Screen. I do hope for a truly separate Notifications Center again some day. And, yeah, the Focus Mode settings don’t feel completely consistent.
That’s totally fair! I actually like it on the Lock Screen, just not in what used to be “Notifications Center”. I also don’t have a ton of notifications on, so it’s not so bad to see them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Aren't notifications supposed to distract you, since they are about notifying you of something. If you don't want certain notifications on your lock screen you can enable focus mode. But this change to the lock screen means that by default you can't see new or old notifications until you pull them up from the bottom. But like the video explains. My lock screen is supposed to tell me what notifications I have, and let me control which ones I see. We have no choice right now
i totally agree. i hate this new swipe up to see notifs. i missed so many important messages already. smh.
Right?! It’s extra work!

Thanks! Yeah, a lot of the features I care a lot about tweaking appear the same in iOS 17 so far…

Right? And thank you! I hope they fix it, too! 🤞

😅 “Vomited a packet of skittles all over my Home Screen”! That’s a good one!

Right? I can’t even figure out how many I have sometimes!
I regretted updating my iPhone to iOS 16, I really miss the iOS 15 Lock Screen design, hope that Apple bring it again later
Awww! I was just showing my MIL the difference between iOS 15 and iOS 16 lock screens 5 minutes ago! 😅
@@ADDLiberator wow
@@ADDLiberator did you install iOS 16, or still have iOS 15?
@@ADDLiberator great
She still has iOS 15 because she’s on an iPhone 7. I’m usually on the beta on my phone because I’m a monster 😝

Yup! It should really be about choice. How do *you* want to see your notifications? You should be able to see them that way!
I totally agree
Right??
@@ADDLiberator yes
I would like to delete it but dont know how. Its annoying.
What is it you’re hoping to delete?

Notification center on ios is broken. Android is the best
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And yet, it wont matter how much we complain, they'll never change it back. it's apple.
Occasionally it has happened! You’re right it’s not common, but I live in hope! 🙏
I’m diggin’ the new notifications layout. I like how I can’t see everything. Less distractions. :)

Legitimately Distracting 😏
🕺
A bloated mess.
Kinda sad, huh?
