There’s plenty of talk about not liking how Notification Center hides notifications arbitrary. Needing to swipe to see some notifications is not instinctual to some users, hiding things that should be notifying me does seem a bit contradictory.
Notifications from the top down like before like older iOS versions helps, but being able to customize the Notification Center could make it even better.
Apple can merge the the idea of Focus modes with Notification Center, allowing us to chose which notifications are sent to the Notification Center, if any, and when they would be sent. We could use it to make our own filters. For example, I want text messages to always be displayed upfront on my Lock Screen, but I would like my emails to go right to the Notification Center so that I can easily check them without being bombarded all day by notifications. Like a “default” focus mode.
Alternatively, make it a location to snooze notifications. Notifications could have the option to swipe or long press to send to the snooze Notification Center, where they are visible by swiping up. Maybe a setting to re-notify you after a set time.
Either way, utilizing Notification Center to group by priority rather than age could have more benefit to the user. How is everyone managing notifications with iOS 16?

the only thing i’m constantly annoyed by are notifications that I’ve read/cleared/clicked/etc will show up again ~2 hours later like they’re brand new.
