Android 11 Tips and Tricks: How to turn on Notification history?

We’ve all been there before. You are in the process of doing something else on your phone, like scrolling Twitter or playing a game, and you swipe away a notification.

After your gaming session ends, you go back and try to see what that notification was all about, only to realize that it’s gone from your notification shade and is lost forever.

Well, with Android 11 that is no longer an issue, as Google has introduced Notification history.

This is disabled by default, but after it’s been enabled, you can tap the History button in the notification shade and see everything that has come in.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Select Apps & notifications.
