I've scoured the web all morning, and I can't figure this one out. I know that with the default Samsung Messages app, notifications come in with little single line bubbles, instead of standard heads-up notification banners. Switching to the Android Messages app fixed that for me, but WhatsApp is doing it to. Is there a way to make WhatsApp use normal banners? I assume this a Samsung thing (my Essential Phone, Pixel 2 XL, and LG G7 didn't do this), and if so, where do I go to turn it off? WhatsApp was installed from the Play Store, so I wouldn't think it'd have any fancy Samsung modifications to it, but I can't find a setting in there for normal banners either. Neither Skype nor FB Messenger (with chat heads turned off; I hate them) exhibit this behavior, and show normal banners. What am I missing?
EDIT:
I figured it out. I had forgotten from forever ago that Edge Lighting changes the notification style. Turned that off, and now banners are working properly.
Hello Everyone,
Here is my question that I just can't seem to solve.
When my phone goes to sleep and AOD is on, there are some icons listed for notices to check such as Text, Missed Calls & Gmail.
When I see the notification Icons that are Gmail related on my Note 9, I am usually behind a computer, so I will go directly to my computer and respond to that Gmail task.
The Gmail icon on the Note 9 is still present on the AOD mode & does not go away even though the task has been completed on my computer.
When I wake up the phone to do another task, the phone does wake up and the Gmail syncs up with the Note 9 & the Gmail icon does goes away.
How can I make the Gmail Icon go away when in AOD mode?
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to read this question.

Hi,
just received my first Samsung yesterday and wanted to get the Edge Lighting working.
I enabled in the settings and also all needed apps like Telegram and Whatsapp are enabled inside the Edge Lighting settings.
Somehow this never works, with screen on or off. There's no lighting when a notification pops in from the enabled apps.
Is there any fix for this? I miss the notification light from my old P10 a lot and this seems to be the only way to have something in this direction on the S10, at the moment.
Before I've got the phone I was hoping Samsung enabled a notification ring around the camera.
Greetings,

Same thing here. Edge notifications not working at all.

Just checked and it does work when I get an SMS, but not when I get an email. And Gmail is activated as one of the apps that should light up the edge notifications.
Not working for me either
Edge Lighting has always had an issue with some apps with the screen off. You need to change Whatsapp settings to Settings > Notifications > Popup Notifications > When Screen off.
Same for any other app it's not working for with the screen off. It needs to have a setting enabled for "popup" or something along those lines.
Iam having the same issue. It will work if you select the popup notification within the app to 'when screen is off' but then the message is also displayed in a popup on the lock screen which i don't want! How hard can it be to want the edge to light up and for the notification contents to remain private.
I had the same thing with my S9, but if you read carefully in display > edge screen > edge lighting > show edge lighting > while screen if off, it says that it replaces notifications that "turn the screen on", and since whatsApp doesn't do this by default, you'll have to turn on pop up view. But here's the thing, I never thought of this solution before, I just installed "glimpse notifications" from play store, it basically lights up the screen if you receive any notification, I personally ignored all apps except for whatsApp, and made sure I enabled persistent notifications to dismiss battery optimizations, keep LED notifications to make it continue blinking, and delay screen-on to allow the notification sound to be fully played, all these can be found under "extras" in the app menu, they'll suggest you to do so as soon as you open the app, and Voil

Jannomag, you very possibly have seen this by now but, if not you might take a look at Chainfire's Holey Light app. Thread with info and link to Play Store listing is right here in S10 forum in Themes, Apps and Mods. It is a good third party answer to your wish for notification light around front facing camera.
I have similar issue with native Samsung Email v6.1.12. All other apps show Edge Lighting, but for native email using gmail / private / work account, no lighting for me. All notifications sound and vision are enabled.

Don't swipe left/right to exit. Just swipe up directly to home screen when you finish with any social media app

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help fix my WhatsApp problem. I have every single option for notification turned on including auto start, display on lock screen and background pop ups. Now, if my phone is off, I will get the notification on the lock screen including the message preview. This works on dark mode and light mode, however, if I'm using the phone and I get a WhatsApp message, unlike Facebook and Outlook etc I do not get a message preview box at the top for a few seconds, all I get is the WhatsApp icon next to the clock top left and the app badge will have a 1. I have tried this is light and dark mode, it works for neither. I also have all the relevant settings in inside the WhatsApp app itself. Here's where things get strange though. If someone sends me a WhatsApp and I leave it unread, if a SECOND person sends me a WhatsApp I will now get a notification pop up for both messages, 1 line for each one. Why on earth can I not get it for 1 new message? What setting am I missing? I've compared to others and everything seems the same. Many thanks if you can help.
