I switched from Android to Windows and I know you could get quite deep as to what notifications you could receive from facebook on your phone and what one's you didn't.
On the window's phone I'm having a hard time even finding an option to turn any aspect of the notifications from facebook appearing on my phone. Am I overlooking something or is that something that hasn't been implemented yet?

If your talking about toast and tile notifications in the app, you can configure what notifications you get, like turning off toast for example, or what kind of noticications you like wall posts, photo tag etc.
Goto the app, click settings, its all there
Cheers.

Thanks, my mistake. I keep forgetting to slide over for additional menu's.
Hi, im new and hoping someone can help me!
I have the Pixel 3a which has the same ambient display as the main version and im not sure if a 3rd party app has knackered mine up and need confirmation.
When the phone receives a Messages or Gmail etc notification the ambient display lights up with an overview of the notification for a few seconds and includes quick action such as 'mark as read', 'reply' etc. If these are clicked what is the expected action of your phone? Does the ambient display remain on and allow you to type a reply within the ambient display or does it revert back to the normal lock screen for a second before either going through to the relevant app or THEN going back to the ambient display? I hope that makes sense.
Ive done a factory reset etc but restored app data and my mind tells me that before i downloaded the third party app that used the ambient display the quick actions were all contained within the ambient display.
Any help appreciated!!
The true ambient display (which shows the clock, date, current weather icon, temp, and app icons with current notifications) is static. If you double click on the screen, it takes you to what are are calling the quick action screen. This is brighter and in my opinion a regular screen and not the ambient display.
So I believe your phone is acting the exact same way my phone does.
EDIT - I just caught a gmail notification coming in and the ambient screen did show an option for "archive" and "reply" for about 5 seconds before going back to only displaying the app icons for apps with pending notification. It only displays for a very short period of time however. I've had the phone almost a week now and never noticed it until now. Could it be that you are simply missing it?
Finally had some time to play with the new 7 Pro this weekend and am wondering about a couple things.
Im using Textra for SMS/MMS and the only option I can find is for the whole screen to turn on when I get a text. Any other option that doesn't turn the entire screen on but notifies me of a text? No notification lights?
Built in pedometer or health app for monitoring how much you walk/run/bike?
No music app? Google Music is what it comes with?
Thanks
Ambient display just shows the message, make sure that's enabled
Get Google Fit for monitoring activities
For a music app just get one from the Play Store

Thanks for those!
I had ambient turned off, much better with all notifications but Textra messages still turn the whole screen on for 3-4 seconds. Wish it didn't do that
I dont have any notification lights though. If the screen is off and I miss the ambient display message, there's no way to know I missed a call or message without touching the screen?
Im having an issue with turning the screen off and my music app turns on and starts playing music. Happened 3 times now and I have no clue how Im staring it up as I put my phone away. Any ideas?

This is likely due to Gestures turned on for music.
Buttons & Gestures > Quick Gestures > Music Control toggle

Forgot about that, thanks!
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!

I need the same. Hate that anything other than myself can turn on the screen. Have had lots of annoying incidents due to this

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.
So I upgraded to OOS12, i did a factory wipe as well to start fresh. Noticed odd stuff, like I wasn't getting text message notifications, they were coming in but notifications were set only to show up in the status bar not notify me. Then weird stuff like my alarm didn't wake me up this morning- the clock app was set not to notify me at all!
I found the manage notifications, almost all apps were set to off. A few odd ones were on, Facebook was on, "My Files" was on...is there some reason why this is? I know there's a big push now to not have so many notifications on our phones...but it's very frustrating as I actually use my phone for work and productivity, and most of my notifications are important. I'd rather have them all on and turn off the ones that are annoying, but I don't see a setting?
