Lock screen notifications missing - General Questions and Answers

Hello there!
Since the samsung's september security update i have a very annoying problem in my S10 (exynos) with my pop up notifications and generally with the notifications of specific apps like messenger and microsoft outlook.
Specifically in facebook messenger i get neither lock screen notifications and pop ups since then. Although, when i delete the app and redownload it the problem is fixed for about 2-3 hours and then is there again. I have tried everything i found (clear the cache from recovery menu, disable battery optimization, enable all the notification settings in the menus, download an older version etc.) but in the end i have the same result.
Is there any other idea on how to get this problem solved ?

Calendar notifications disappearing after 1 hour

Hi guys,
I am facing a strange issue since I installed the latest update on my S7. The notifications for S Planner events, that are shown when you pull down the top menu disappear after 1 hour. It used to stay there until I cleared them out manually.
I also tried Business Calendar 2 pro. Same thing happens there.
This is very annoying as I leave the notifications there until I deal with them and if they disappear I just forget that I was supposed to take care of something.
I was trying to find the setting that is controlling this with no luck. I really hope that this is a matter of setting or a bug.
Could someone help me with this please?
Thank you.
Same here. I have installed Google calendar - the same happens.
Any solutions anyone?
same here.
i also tried google calendar, but it does the same-
the reminders disappear after the event's time is up
====================================================
EDITED - Solution
I found a workaround solution: i installed "Events Notifier for Calendar".
One of the app's features is configuring how a reminder stops: manually stopped, when the event starts or when the event ends.
So now i can still see my reminder notifications, even when they disappear from the calendar notification since their time was up.
Bump. Anyone figure this out yet?
Google search (with quotes): "Samsung or Google Have Screwed Up the S Planner App".
You can try Samsung's alternate UI, "Good Lock"
It has two tabs in your notification pull down where you can store notifications you want to save for later.

Messenger (SMS) notifications disappearing after 1 second

When I receive a text message (using Google's Messenger), the screen lights up and I see the notification on the lock screen. After 1 or 2 seconds, without any input, the notification disappears before I can do anything. This has caused me to miss several (somewhat) important text messages because when I go back, the notification is no longer there to remind me to check my messages.
Any suggestions of how to fix this?
Same issue on LG V20 running Android 7.0. Started with Hangouts messages only and then spread to SMS/text messages yesterday. heads up notification displays for fraction of a second before disappearing. Same behavior with notification icon in notification bar. Shows for split second before apparently being instantaneously dismissed. Expanding notification shade shows no notification. I thought it was my messaging app Textra, but full uninstall re-install did not fix. Tried reverting to stock Android messaging app, still no fix. Reverted from Nova to stock Launcher, no fix. This is maddening! Sounds like it might be an OS bug, but your the first person to post something exactly like I'm experiencing. Hopefully more find this and report. No fix as of yet that I've found.
I had a chat with Samsung support where basically they had me first boot into safe mode to ensure no 3rd-party apps were messing it up (they weren't). Then (in regular boot mode), I had to enable all disabled apps (AT&T bloatware). Then, I enabled notifications for all apps.
This fixed my issue well enough. The notifications appear, then go away after a second, but then immediately come back. It's still quirky, but now the notifications are persistent.

Facebook Messenger notifications delayed

I upgraded to OPO recently and have been having issues with Facebook messenger's notifications being delayed for up to 3 minutes from when I actually got the message. All other app notifications appear instantly, so the problem seems to be just with the messenger app. If I wake the screen then the notifications update all at once. I tried restarting the phone, changing battery optimization settings for both the Facebook app itself and messenger to no succes. Maybe someone had this problem before and fixed it or just know what could be causing issues.

GMail Notification in Status Bar is WONKY?

Don't know how else to put it...
I noticed that if I double-tap the gmail notification on the AOD, I will be taken directly into the email message but the gmail notification does not clear/get dismissed if I just hit the home button. It will dismiss if I hit the back button within the gmail app and go back to the inbox.
However, when I receive 2+ gmails, the notification works properly and dismisses immediately when the app is launched from the AOD notification shortcut.
I thought it was just my phone but I tested it out on my wife's S8+ as well and the same issue <-- she hadn't noticed since she didn't know the AOD notifications were shortcuts...she thought they were redundant notifications so she would just click on the notification through the shade and enter the app (which works correctly and dispatches the gmail notification promptly).
This only occurs when you receive ONE (1) email and enter the gmail app thru the AOD notification. <-- I guess it's a bug (or does Samsung intend to say it's a feature????). Being kinda OCD, it bugs me. But I had to make sure since I just performed a factory reset as my gmail app was crashing on me all day and only a factory reset cured it (yes, I tried force disable, clear cache, clear delete from both the gmail app & google play services; remove account and add my gmail account back; nothing worked except for a full system factory restore and then a manual set up)...<--Ahh, I miss being able to TWRP, use Titanium Backup and do whatever the hell I wanted with my Nexus 5 (and the only reason I had to let it go was that it won't hold a charge for more than 4 - 6 hours tops now).
Roll call and let me know if you guys are facing the same issue. I'd like Samsung to fix it since I don't face this issue on my Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 tablet.
Thanks!

Can't turn off Whatsapp vibrate!!

Hi all,
I had an S8+ and Whatsapp was set to show the badge if there was a message or group message only (no vibrate or sound) and worked flawlessly. I got an S10 about a month ago, and I have set it to silent + no vibrate (both in Whatsapp notifications and on system settings) but it keeps vibrating when I get a message. The system settings keep reverting back to 'sound and vibrate' every couple days so I keep changing it to 'silent + no vibrate'. But even when it's set to this, it still vibrates!!
It really annoys me, as I only want my phone to vibrate for calls, messages and emails, not Whatsapp.
Any ideas how to fix this? I've uninstalled and reinstalled Whatsapp and it didn't fix it. I've done all software updates as well.
Go to Settings - Apps Notifications - Whatsapp, Block Notifications.

HI James, I still want an icon at the top of my screen when I have a message - I just don't want the sound or vibration.
Hi, any ideas?
There are three different settings for vibration in whatsapp: Messages, Groups and Calls. Have you tried disabling all of them?
Hi! Have you found a solution? I have the same problem on Note 9 and this drives me crazy.
Same for s20 fe that's a shame. It drives me crazy.
