    Notifications - tap to open inbox instead of expanding

    So tapping on notifications such as Gmail or other messaging apps where there are multiple messages in notifications used to open the inbox directly.

With the location setting on (which I swear I keep turning off, damn Facebook!) it often shows me as being in India, and I have no idea why. I just opened Google maps and...
