Please help me understand iOs notifications

[airborne]

Why dont you delete an app and then restore it to see, it cant be that difficult my fok.

Hey Ms douchebag, why comment if you can't help, go troll the airfryer thread?!
I want to know if the data is permanently stored in icloud and can be access on different devices in future

 

[airborne]

Yes, as long as you're backing up to iCloud... check Settings/User/iCloud/iCloud Backup

You can see which apps are backing up to iCloud by tapping Show All under Apps Using iCloud at Settings/User/iCloud

IIRC apps will notify you if you'll be deleting the app as well as app data when you delete them, so there is that too.

I am backing up to iCloud but I just want to know if it's definitely backed up on a per app basis and whether that app data will be restored if I reset the phone and start from scratch(not restore the phone from an iCloud backup) and then re-install the app or another scenario is if I install the app on a totally different phone whether the app data will be restored from iCloud.

I just want to understand app data management better.

Yes it can be restored in the future. I delete and download grindr all the time and everything stays exactly the same when i reinstall it. Hope that helps.

I haven't restored an iPhone from a backup for years now but app data was restored when I set the new phone up, and that might answer your question.

Thanks so by that you mean you installed the app on a fresh phone and it auto pulled the existing app data from iCloud?
Will that also happen if I install an app that was previously on my iPhone on an iPad, will the app data also be pulled from iCloud?
I have quite a complicated clipboard app setup and it would be great if I won't ever have to redo it again, just install on the new phone or iPad and the app data will be loaded.

Yup... I didn't transfer data from the old phone, just did a new install, and app data should work across your Apple devices that run those apps.

The app that amuses me most is WhatsApp 'cos I *never* want to agree to META's last update's privacy and access BS... Thought I might have to on the new phone but I didn't and I'm still ignoring the same pop-up reminders I was ignoring on the old phone.

It’s the exact same for an iCloud backup.

The iCloud backup is just the settings for the phone, it assumes you are already backing up the app data and will simply restore that back to its last state.

So as long as you have iCloud ticked for all apps that matter you are all good.

After getting used to the iOS notifications I can now say it does grow on you and I now prefer them to Android. It's nice having the option for them to be out of the way and then when I have time later in the day I can go through my notifications and check out the good ones. Also means your current notifications aren't jammed up with all the old unread notifications, all in it's a good system.

Android has notification history. Swipe them away and view them in your history later on, which can be accessed by pulling down notification center and clicking on history. What Android version were you running?

Android 10 or 11, I did see that on the S10 that I had. That’s a handy feature that Apple doesn’t have yet but in terms of managing notification when they arrive this is more elegant. It gives you a chance to store your unread notifications until it suits you to read them.

Granted I damn hated it for the first few weeks, having all these notifications hanging around bugged the hell out of me but then I realised the ones stored in the notification pull up are all non-urgent so you just keep focused on the priority ones and it’s easy sailing.

Then later when you have a gap you can sort out the old ones, you actually get to read them, whereas on android I’d have been swiping them away all day without reading them, just to clear space.

So if I understand you correctly, with iOS you can swipe away a notification and if you receive another notification in the same app it will only show the most recent one? If you swipe away a notification on Android and receive another in the same app, they all show again, even the ones you swiped away. Gets annoying real fast.

Yes it will only show the most recent notification.
All the old notifications live in the notification pull-up till you click on them or swipe them away but they are kept out of mind and out of sight.

Moving on with this topic…why are iOS notifications so all over the place?

I don’t get consistent notifications from most apps despite them being enabled. I’ve actually been looking at the screen a few times and a notification will popup and then immediately be removed, gone, totally removed from notifications. And it’s not obscure apps, it’s FB messenger, Whatsapp, Firefox, even FNB will sometimes be affected. It’s annoying with load shedding apps, the notifications almost never come through so I’ll be busy at work on the computer and the power will die on me, work lost. Sometimes the notification will come through but without the audio notification or vice versa.

It reminds me of the Huawei phone I once had that had very aggressive power saving and would kill any app that tried to run in the background and hence kill their notifications, it seems something similar is happening here?

 

[SauRoNZA]

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced Notifications not working or behaving as such.

I haven’t had sounds on for notifications since I first used iOS some 14 years ago so can’t comment there.

Is it possible you have so many notifications they need to stack over each other maybe?

Do you have more than one Apple device using the same account? Because then by design it syncs them up and removes them from the other devices which almost sounds like you describe here where they disappear.

My only annoyance ever with notifications has been when that sync has broken between my iPhone, Watch and iPad and I need to clear the same thing more than once.

Or you’ve maybe setup different Focuses altering notification behaviour? But even then you shouldn’t see then pop up and disappear.

Is there anyway to get call ringing and notifications through a connected bluetooth device like ear buds and a car bluetooth?
Seems you can only set that to happen when using Apple Buds, for now when I'm in the car the audio on bluetooth just stops all together when a call comes through, sometimes if I'm not concentrating I forget that that means a call is ringing. Then there's the added annoyance that when I do pick up the call it doesn't auto route through the connected bluetooth device, I have to try manically both answer the call and try route the audio into my ear buds at the same time ffs apple.

You always have the strangest problems.

Calls should auto route to the Bluetooth device automatically assuming it’s a device capable of taking calls.

My car definitely rings when my phone rings, but no Notifications don’t go over Bluetooth.

Or did you specifically mean ear buds AND car Bluetooth as in two devices at the same time?

That's what I would assume but it doesn't, it can take calls but every time I have to manually select it after answering the call.

No one at a time.

 

[SauRoNZA]

No one at a time.

Will try to remember to test this specifically with the car over Bluetooth only.

I use CarPlay 99% of the time.
