Status bar notifications

[neighner]

I am using a Pixel 6. When I get an email, text, FB message...anything really, it drops down for a few seconds and then goes away. There are no longer little icons in the status bar showing me that I have an unread text. So for example, if I'm on FB and I look up for a few seconds and during that time I get a text and the drop down notification goes away before I look back down, I have no idea that I just missed a text. It used to work. I was using Do Not Disturb for a little while but then I turned that off once I read that might be the cause. Still no change. It got the March update yesterday but this was happening before that. The picture shows all I see and then that goes away

It's the same way on my Pixel 7. When you close that page you posted the icon will show at the top. I don't have a problem with it. I don't keep apps or anything else open.

But it will not show at the top

Go back to your home screen and it will show.

hmmm.. I wonder if any of the posters have their thoughts into it.

It does on my Pixel 7. Could that image you're using on your home screen be covering it?

Have you changed anything in Notifications? App Notifications?

I'm guessing the issue is something related to this. The phone app notifications won't let me toggle to On

But before I could be in any app and there would be symbols at the top telling me that I have a text I haven't read, or an email. I didn't have to go to the home screen to see them

My phone setting is the same. I think it's the locked on position. I wish I had a better answer for you or maybe someone else here will.

I noticed on your screenshot you have that black bar at the bottom. I don't have that black bar on my phone in setting notifications

Reboot your phone ?

Yeah I have already rebooted it. And that bar is an app called Navigation Bar that let me put the back button on the right like I'm used to.

If no one else has a solution for you the only other thing I can think of doing is a factory reset and start from ground zero again. I wish I had a solution for you.

No, no idea why this is happening.

But I'd look at your general Notifications settings, not "Phone". "Phone" just means the phone app, so settings there won't affect notifications from any other app.

Specifically I'd look in Settings > Notifications and check whether they are set to "Brief" or "Detailed": I've only ever used "Detailed", so don't know whether "Brief" does anything other than make the initial message shorter. And under Advanced I'd check whether "floating notifications" is on or off: again, I've never tried anything other than "off", so it might be that this also changes the behaviour.

I figured it out! It was this app I was using called Power Shade. I uninstalled it and it started working again. Reinstalled it and has been working fine so far so idk, we will see. Thank you all!
