One UI 5.0 Notification Panel:

Samsung phones still open the Notification Panel, which you swipe down from the top of your screen and then again swipe the quick settings panel. However, with One UI 5.0, the company has brought subtle changes to its Notification Panel.

The company has tried to deliver a clearer look while keeping a separate space for different groups of apps or priority ones. The new panel’s app icons have received minor optimizations such as a new solid round background shape. Also, they are now bigger and usual so you can easily identify which app has sent you a notification.

In addition to these, if you receive a string of notifications from a single application, the icons now stack below each other, which creates a pleasant effect. The space between the notification bubbles has also increased, making them all feel individual.

Aside from these, the rest of other functions of the Samsung Notification Panel are the same, which are already more advanced than many other brands. You can reply to text messages, mark them read, as well as create a bubble of it. At the same time, you can also disable app notifications from this area, set reminders for the notifications, use six of your top quick tools, manage brightness, open system settings, and more.

iOS 16 Notification Center:

Unlike Samsung’s Notification Panel, Apple has a different way to open the notification center and control center on iPhones. You can open the iOS 16 Notification center by swiping down from the top-left portion of your screen.

Apple iOS 16 Notification Center has different sections for different app notifications o you won’t find it difficult in finding the one you are looking for. It does not have any extra layer below the notifications so when you swipe down to see the notifications, these will appear on your wallpaper, although it looks good.

Furthermore, you can obviously really text messages from the notification center. Additionally, when you slightly swipe the notification left, you will get some more options like mute notifications for a particular time/day, turn off notifications, view app settings, and more.

One UI 5.0 Notification Panel vs iOS 16 Notification Center:

One UI 5.0 Notification Panel and iOS 16 Notification Center are completely different from each other. Undoubtedly, both look good. However, while Samsung offers a simple and informative notification panel, Apple has quite a fancy notification center and users might face some difficulties using it when they are not familiar with it.

When it comes to features and offerings, Samsung’s Notification Panel has much more features than Apple’s Notification Center. You can perform a lot of functionalities from the Galaxy’s notification shade area, whereas the iPhone’s notification shade only lets you read messages, reply to them, mute them, and do some other minor functions.
