How to enable and view notification history after upgrading to Samsung Android 12 One UI 4.0

Do you often hide notifications by mistake, not knowing what the notification was about? Well, there is a way you can be sure that it will never happen again. Android comes with a built-in history for your notifications. That history has been automatically closed so far, but it is not, at least not in what we have seen.

In this article, we will show you how to view your notification history on One UI 4 (Android 12) on Galaxy Note 20 device. Including, if you are not visible, for whatever reason, we will show you how to change that.

In all Android 11 designs, it is automatically disabled. When it comes to Android 12, we don’t have a definite guarantee, but in our units, it’s enabled, so, you already have it. In any case, let’s get started.

How to view notification history on One UI 4 (Android 12)?

Considering your notification history is automatically enabled for Android 12, checking it really easy. All you have to do is scroll to the end of your unread notifications. So, swipe from the top of your display, and scroll down to the end of your notifications. You will see a “History” button in the lower-left corner, tap it.

Once you do that, your notification history will open. Here you will see all the notifications you have dismissed/read, in order.

If you happen to see “Manage” instead of “History” under your notifications, then your notification history is not enabled. So, let us show you how to turn on the power.

How to enable your notification history on One UI 4 (Android 12)?

The first thing you need to do is swipe to the top of your home screen, to access your app drawer. There you will need to find the app”Settings” menu, then tap it. In the Settings menu, scroll down the “Notifications” menu, and navigate there. There, you will see the “Notification History” option, tap it.

The first option you will see at the top, just below the “Notifications History”, is to change “Use notification history”. You will need to investigate the switch and enable notification history. From now on your phone will remember all the notifications you spend.

This is also the place where you will be able to see all those notifications. You can navigate here even if you do not have notifications, as the “History” button does not show if you do not have unread notifications.
