So on the htc 10 which is what I am coming from I am able to choose silent notification or different notification level for each app, that seems to have changed. I cant find any way to get rid of vibration or sound just for specific apps within the notification setting panel. In the Twitter app theres nothing specific and if there is I have it off and in the app settings within the phone it just gives me the type of notifications such as direct messages, news etc. No where does it let me turn off sounds or vibrations for the app.
Within the Twitter app in the settings the only option is under Display and Sound, second from the bottom you can turn off in app sounds.
If you go to the app settings (where you would force close or clear data) and tap Notifications it lists multiple categories such as Direct Messages, Related to you and your tweets, etc. Here you can disbale ALL notifications (but moving the slider at the top to OFF) and the checkbox next to each of these turns them on or off completely.
If you tap on the item like Direct Messages (or any other item) you can again toggle them off for that function (same as unchecking on the previous screen) and set the behavior. I have most set to Show Silently, which will not vibrate or make sound. If Make Sound is on, vibrate is available under the Advanced roll up. Review settings for each type and turn vibrate off or change all to Show Silently if that's what you're after.
Hope this helps.

Thanks I had just figured it out when I saw your reply. Now I have a new issue, so I am getting notifications how I want but I am not getting the notification light with them, am i missing something or is there no way to get the notification light to come on with these notifications?
Pixel 3 does not have a notification light.

Literally just read this after I posted. I didnt even notice.Well that sucks..I guess I have to try the always on display.
I tried to enable from Custom restrictions "Don't turn on the screen" and "Don't wake for notifications" with no luck. Is this a bug or bad user?

Always nice to answer to your own questions . Ambient display -> disable New Notifications. Oneplus logic escapes me.
Disable notifications
Go to the Settings app on android > Sound & Notifications > Scroll Down and App Notifications under notification section > Tap on App name installed on your mobile > Turn off the notification for the app.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, but I wanted just to disable wake screen for notifications not to disable notifications. Was a little confused initially since Oneplus seems to have two settings for the same thing. Got it in the end...
I have the same problem, but your solution does not work for me. As far as I can tell I have everything in ambient display turned off, but the screen still wakes up (to the normal lock screen). To confirm: THE TOGGLE SETTING "NEW NOTIFICATIONS" IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED, WHICH MEANS IT IS OFF. HOWEVER, THE SCREEN STILL WAKES UP.
In addition to that I even have "no notifications on lock screen" selected, which means my screen WAKES UP AND SHOWS NOTHING. It's distracting and useless at the same time. Very annoying.
I have now turned on "ambient display when I pick up the phone". This finally made my screen stop lighting up by itself, though of course now it does it when I pick it up. But at least it doesn't distract me while I'm working on my pc with my phone on the table.
I like my 7 Pro very much...and since this is my 2nd phone from OnePlus, I guess I am fairly satisfied with their implementation of Android Q. However, their way of setting up notifications is one of the worst things I have ever seen! It is convoluted, confusing, and counter intuitive.... not to mention just plain ridiculous. I hope they really get on the ball with the issue of notifications and their useless Horizon light very SOON because a cell phone without proper, accurate, notifications totally defeats the purpose of having a "portable" communications device.

I am having the same issue, how did you get the screen to stop waking up?
I'm trying to find a fix for this, as well. I have an app that wakes screen besides delivering the notification with/without sound. And now I realize I have another one. I also want to have those notifications on, but without waking my screen, just like most of the other apps' notifications. And this is not related to ambient display. In my case, I have stock Android, on a Pixel 3XL.
Thanks!

Actually, there is a fix now, if you run Android 13. Under Apps->Special app access, there is a new option called 'Turn screen on'. I disallowed the annoying app and solved my issue.
I want to disable lock screen wake up for text messages and still no luck on S23. I went under special app access and disabled "Turn screen on" for the messages app (and others), and guess what? The screen still comes on when I get a text. HOLY ANNOYING.
You can turn Lock Screen Notifications completely off, but I dont want that. I want the audible notification to come in without turning the battery draining screen on, and when I tap the screen with my finger I want to see the app badge that tells me when app the notification came in on (signal, or messages, or fakebook, etc). If it's fakebook I may ignore it for example.

As I said in my post, I don't want to disable notifications, I want to disable lighting up the whole screen. The notification icon should show on the always on display without going full annoying brightness on the screen for 5 seconds. That's just dumb.

You might want to consider utilizing the Google Issue Tracker which is a tool used internally at Google to track bugs and feature requests during product development.
For Do Not Disturb - If you have the setting "Always show time and info" enabled (Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Always show time and info) your screen will display a dimly lit clock when the screen is locked, among some other status icons.
In the DND settings, if you check "Don't wake for notifications" and you get a new notification (text, ig, whatever the notification is), it will not show on the screen until you unlock the phone. It will just display that clock and you'll be unaware of the notification.
If you UNcheck "Don't wake for notifications", the lock screen with the large dimly lit clock will change to show the small icons for whatever the notification is.
If you do NOT have enabled the setting "Always show time and info" (Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Always show time and info), I imagine it would be the same behavior, except you would see a difference when you manually wake up (but don't unlock) your screen--you would either see that you got a text message or whatever the notification is, or you wouldn't until you fully unlock the screen.
Hi,
I have an annoying problem: the display standby (hour with blurring background) covers notifications randomly.
e.g.: I receive a notification, the display turns on (i've this option enabled), I see the notification for a while, then the display goes to standby and I can't read anymore (see the attached photo).
Is it a privacy option? I've searched in all settings and I can't find anything to solve it
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's a pain for me on covering any app! I would like to turn it off....
ok, after more tests I can say that it's definitely a privacy option: every time I rotate the wrist anticlockwise (watch is in my left arm), display goes to standby covering the notification.
There is no option to disable it, I checked every single menu...
The only way to reduce the pain is by activating "display on every wrist rotation" option, so with a wrist movement the display uncovers the notification
Any other ideas?
Come on, no other goes crazy about this thing?
Even after the last update, XXU1DUJA, no change at all: I receive a notification, I see the icon (not the message) of the app notificated, then blurred display and finally it goes off.
How can I read the notification without tap the display? Maybe it's because, due to Samsung Pay, I have lockscreen enabled (only for paments)?
EDIT: "show with details" under notification settings was off, now I see the message. but the blurred screen is still here....

Turn on 'Raise Wrist to Wake' if you don't want to touch the display. Or, turn off AOD if you don't want that clock over your blurred notification. *Edit*: I see one commenter on Reddit suggested that updating the Messages app solves this - can't hurt to try that.

Yes, you may include me. At first it didn't bother me, now it is just plain annoying. I have AOD on and wouldn't expect such nonsense. I get a message, I look at the watch, I am reading the screen, and bam, it puts that damn thing overtop. There is some sort of delay before it is displayed, but I can't quite determine how long or under what circumstances.
Why there is no option to turn that stupid digital clock overlay with blur thing OFF is a mystery to me. It seems to do this randomly on many screens- looking at notifications the most, but it is not restricted to that. I don't have Samsung or any other "Pay" on, I don't use a lockscreen on the watch.

Have you tried turning off 'Hide Information' under the Security > Lock settings? And updating the Messages app (from Google Play on the watch)?

Right when I went into Wear app on the phone, there was message to update "Galaxy Wearable" 102.3MB. So I went ahead and did that, first. Then checked the Google Play app on phone, went into updates. There are no updates for any app. I checked installed apps, I have nothing named "Messages" installed. Checked Play on watch. Again, nothing to update and no app named "Messages" installed. I then checked security settings on watch, there is only one option called "lock" which is not on. There are no options except "Type" which is set to "none."
So, essentially, I can't do either of your suggestions... they don't appear to be valid on my watch/setup.

That's weird - right underneath 'Type', mine shows 'Hide Information.' It's in the manual too (page 70): https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/...R89X_R88X_R87X_R86X_EN_UM_071621_FINAL_AC.pdf *Edit*: And if you don't have a Messages app, what do you use for messages?

I can't explain why my options are different than what you describe or what is in that PDF (nice link to the manual, though). But there is nothing that says "hide information." Maybe it is tied to some other option you have turned on that I don't have on?
For text messages, I use Textra on my phone. I never installed any text or message-related app on the watch. It just works with texting. When I get a text message, it shows me their icon and/or the message, I can click on it and reply or mark it as "read" so I don't get repeat reminders. I can also compose a new text message by clicking on a contact on the watch contact tile. If I click on the "Messages" icon in the apps drawer, it says "To To use samsung messages, you need to make it the default messaging app on your phone" with a yes/no option (of course I am not going to say yes). By the way, while I was in the middle of transcribing that message, the damn digital clock blur overlay covered the display and I had to touch the screen so I could finish reading it.
When I go into Play on the phone and look at Textra, there is no indication that it had installed anything on the watch or that it has a WearOS component. So I don't know what I am using when interacting with text messages on the watch. Perhaps it is just something built-into WearOS?

Ah, maybe that's it - it shows up because I have a PIN set, whereas if I understand correctly, you don't have any lock set (does that mean you can't use Samsung pay on the watch?). As for messages, I do use Samsung Messages. Your Textra message notifications clearly show up on the watch, even without an installed app - but then, doesn't that mean you can't compose a message from the watch?

I have no lock screen and no PIN set. Also have no interest in "Pay", so I don't know if that would work or not.
As I mentioned above: "I can also compose a new text message by clicking on a contact on the watch contact tile."
In any case, my experience shows that this digital clock blur overlay thing is not related to "Messages" or lock screens. It seems to be inherent to all use cases.
OK, I feel pretty stupid now. The digital clock blur overlay thing is what appears when the screen "times out" and it is controlled under Settings> Display> Screen Timeout. Mine was set to 15 seconds. So even with AOD on, it still would do the blur thing in 15 seconds. I changed it to 30 seconds and now it does the blur thing in 30 seconds, instead.
Silly me, thinking that with AOD on, there wouldn't be a "screen timeout."
The AOD is not truly "Always On", it is just "ambient mode". If you turn AOD on, and the app doesn't support ambient mode, then after screen timeout or rotate the wrist, screen will be blurred and switch to watch face finally. Only if the app itself support ambient mode and AOD is on, that is truly "Always On". It is not privacy about, but a power save policy.

Thanks! Now we have a better understanding of the problem.
But I have very few apps installed and the blur screen happens even after a notification: e.g. whatsapp or telegram. So the problem is in an hypothetical "notification" system app that doesn't support ambient mode. Not the best for a system app...
1) I feel GW4 vibration: a notification is arrived 2) I rotate the wrist to read the display 3) if I rotate out a little my wrist, display goes blur 4) If I rotate again the wrist in my direction, display returns readable
I keep thinking it's a privacy setting: after rotating the wrist out (point 3 in the example), I can't see the display and blurring it prevents other people to see my notification
My settings: always on display: enabled; screen timeout 30 sec (even with 15, same behaviour); display on when rotating wrist: enabled; display on when a notification arrives: enabled.
