Every time a message is received on WhatsApp, all the previously unread messages too show up in the notification area.
Anyone who uses Notification History would see all these old WhatsApp messages before the other recently received notifications. The notification history becomes a mess because of this.
Is there a way to stop these old messages from showing up again (without reading them)?

When a new message is received on WhatsApp, it is common for the app to group the notification with the previous unread messages. However, if you don't want the old messages to show up in the notification area every time a new message is received, you can try the following:
Open WhatsApp and go to Settings > Notifications.
Scroll down and select "Group notifications".
Under "Notification tone", select "Silent".
Under "Message notifications", select "No sound" and "No vibration".
Under "Light", turn off the toggle for "Use high priority notifications".
Go back to the main Settings menu and select "Apps & notifications".
Select "Notifications" and then "Advanced".
Turn off the toggle for "Allow notification dot".
By following these steps, WhatsApp notifications will no longer make any sound or vibration, and the app won't use high priority notifications or notification dots. This way, when a new message arrives, it won't group with the previous unread messages, and they won't show up in the notification area again. However, you will still receive the notification in the notification shade, and you can read the new message there.

Lovely. I think this may work with some tweaks.
I will try and 'mute' or archive individual conversations (since some of these are from individuals too) and see if that helps.
This is indeed something for WhatsApp to sort out in their app so they don't show previous unread conversations repeatedly in the notification area. This gets annoying very quickly.

Hi all,
Is there a way to disable automatic display of received text message?
I would just like to have a notification that sms is received. But not
from who and the actual message. I'll go to Outlook myself or click on
the notification to read it...
It's annoying if you have to leave the phone somewhere public.
Thanks for any advice!
Go to settings > personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab
For Messaging: New text message, uncheck "Display message on screen".
Never thought it's that easy
Always trying to find some complicated software solution
Thanks!!!
Wonder if there are ways to show incoming sms messages right on screen when they arrive... Currently I need to hit multiple buttons before I can read the sms message. Thanks!
Hi
There is an opption in the setting some where for this, sorry not sure where
Steve
hi,
install this and you have option wake up device on SMS (or something like this)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Whenever I got an SMS it automatically displayed the contents on the screen, I don't remember where the setting was but I liked that more. There's a common tweak for wake up on SMS, just search "Raphael Tweaks" and you'll come up with it.
turn it on in the sounds and notifications settings (where you change ringtone, message tone etc).
tick 'display message on screen'
Thanks much everybody!
I received the OTA upgrade to Oreo, 2 days back(In india). Phone has become snappier in opening apps.
But, i have noticed a really important feature missing in the Samsung's Text Message app. It no longer gives option to 'Mark as Read' or 'Reply' from the notification panel itself(which was introduced in Nougat).
Whatsapp and Gmail still gives the options in Notification Panel.
I have attached the screenshot as well.
Can anyone help if this can be rectified.
Is there any specific option to enable the same under Messages > Notifications ??
I have just noticed that the 'Mark as Read' and 'Reply' option under Notification panel comes for messages sent from Mobile numbers. Even if 'Reply' is meaningless for non-mobile numbers, 'Mark as Read' option should be there for all Text message Notification, but its not there since upgrading to Oreo.
Can anyone confirm the same?. Or is it an issue on my phone only?
In settings > notifications, pop-up style is COMPACT and all APPS are selected, but when I receive an email from GMAIL, I do not get any pop-up, only an icon on the notification bar.
All is fine for SMS or whatsapp.
Any reason why?
Hold and press the Gmail icon , then in ¡ sympol at top right you can see notifications. Just check pop up
that dix it thx
here's the scenario
1. I receive an email from AAA
2. pop up shows with sender AAA and part of the message
3. I receive an email from BBB
4. instead of popup with sender BBB I still ee a pop up with sender AAA
Anyone has noticed the same issue?
I think the notification is compressed to show only 1 notification (within that same app) rather than listing out the emails that you received for that app.
For me I see list of emails I received so I see all the sender names (AAA, BBB, CCC, etc. with one line content detail).
I recall that it's a setting for the notification that you have to change to list outrather than show only one.
Try ... Settings > notification > Advanced Settings > Show notification icons > select All notifications
There a new always on display update out maybe maybe there's a notification fix in there
I can't seem to get it to install keep getting the error
app not installed as package appears to be invalid

I'm using the COMPACT style.
Gmail by default does not have popup 3nabled though, so I had to change this into settings.
As I said, what is strange is that whatsapp or other messaging apps work ok: first popup I see A, second popup I see B, while with Gmail it's always A, that is the very first I receive.
I'll try to get a screen recording.
