Before android 7 on lock screen we could swipe on a notification, tap the app we want to open and it opens that app
Since android 7, we have to swipe on a notification, tap the app, SWIPE AGAIN, only then it opens the app. Who came up with this nonsense?
Is there a way disable this bs and go back to previous method?
P.S.
Is this Nougat feature or Samsung exclusive?

I've been searching for an answer to this, but haven't found anything. Maybe I've missed something?
If I recall correctly, in 4.1 I was able to open the notifications by just tapping the notification area. It was very easy.
With the 4.2 phablet UI, not only are my notifications in the farther corner from my thumb, but I have to do a full swiping motion to open them. Half the time I don't go far enough, and it bounces shut again!
Is there any mod or app to allow opening the notifications with just a tap? Or maybe to change how far I have to drag for it to decide to stay open.
NOTE: I don't mean an app that adds a home-screen shortcut or widget. A)I don't need another icon on my home-screen, and B)I want to be able to do this from inside any app.
Thanks.
Just coming off a Moto X, so near stock, and I like how double tapping a notification directly launches you into the app if unlocked (say connected to a trusted device). With the Note 4 it prompts you to do an additional swipe gesture which is annoying and unnecessary. Is this just a life with TouchWiz problem, or is there a way to solve this?
1. See your Home screen on the big screen
Before you cast, ensure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Cast device and that you have the latest version of your choice of Google Cast app.
Open the Google Cast app.
Select "Cast Screen" from the menu and tap "Cast Screen.".
2. Share your phone but protect your info
Swipe down the top edge of the screen to open Quick Settings.
Tap the user icon on the top right and select "Add a Guest" to start Google Guest Mode.
When you get the phone back, end Guest Mode by tapping the user icon and selecting "Remove Guest".
Tap "Remove" to delete all apps and data from the guest's session.
3. Swipe for notifications
Open Settings.
Tap "Moves".
Make sure the slider next to "Swipe for notifications" is in the "On" position.
Now, swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to check your notifications from any screen.
4. Translate signs on the go
Ensure you have the Google Translate app on your phone and open it.
In the top-left corner, select the language of the text you're looking at.
In the top-right corner, select the language you'd like to see the text in.
Tap the camera icon, point your camera at the text you want to translate.
To pause the camera and see the translated text, tap "Pause" in the bottom right corner of the screen.
To resume, tap "Play".
5. Enable pulse notification LED
Concealed in your Pixel's front-facing speaker is a tiny LED light that can be used to notify you of missed messages. It's turned off by default, but you can enable this feature in just a few simple taps: Settings> Notifications> Tap on the Gear icon in the top-right corner > Toggle on the "Pulse notification light". And voila! Your Pixel will now blink its notification light when you have a notification waiting.
6. Make the screen wake up when you get a notification
You can make you Pixel's screen wake up when it gets a new notification such as a text message, an email or a missed call, etc.
To turn on the feature, Go to Settings> Display and enable Ambient Display.
7. End an on-going call using the power button
You can use the power button on your Google Pixel to cut an on-going call. To enable this feature, go to Settings> Accessibility and enable Power button ends call option.
8. Using the multi-window or split-screen functionality
In the past, we've seen the multi-window feature on some Samsung and LG devices. Android Nougat has multi-window feature baked into the very OS. It is quite obvious that the Google Pixel and Pixel XL have the multi-window or split-screen functionality enabled by default.
To be able to use the multi-window functionality on the Google Pixel, you must have some open apps in the Recents. Suppose you want to use Chrome and Facebook apps simultaneously, you need to open them individually first and then close the apps. After that,
Open one of the apps.
Then tap and hold the Recents button on the navigation bar.
When the multi-window mode is on, the recents icon will split into two parts (see above).
The opened app will start showing in a window covering the upper-half of the screen.
On the lower window, you'll see the recent apps.
Just select the app you want to use on the other part of the screen.
To resize the window, you can drag the "—" icon up or down (see the highlighted areas in the screenshot above.
To close multi-window, just tap and hold the Recents button on the nav bar.
9. Instantly see time and notifications when the screen is sleeping
Actually, I experienced this feature first after my iPhone 6 received the iOS 10 update. It is really a very useful feature that wakes up the screen as soon as you take your phone out of the pocket or lift it.
The Google Pixel/Pixel XL received this feature after the Android 7.1.1 update. As soon as you hold the phone and lift it up, it displays the current time, day, date, your previously set lock screen personal message and notification cards from different apps.
10. Enable battery percentage on status bar
On most Android devices, you can enable Battery percentage on status bar option from Settings> Battery. On the Google Pixel and Pixel XL phones, the feature has been disabled by Google for some reasons.
Don't worry, as you can easily make your Google Pixel to show battery percentage on the status bar. Well, it's a bit tricky, but it works:
Swipe down the status bar to bring down the quick settings or the notification panel.
Now press and hold on the Settings gear icon for a few seconds.
You'll see a toast message box saying "Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings".
Now open Settings and scroll down to System UI Tuner and tap it.
Tap on Status bar in the System UI Tuner menu.
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen to find the Battery option and tap it.
Select Always show percentage option from the menu that pops up.
You'll now be able to see battery percentage on the status bar.
Done! The only issue is, the battery percentage shows on the battery icon and is so small in size that you might need a magnifying glass to read it. LOL!
Anyway, there's another way to easily find the battery level percentage of on your Google Pixel. Just swipe the status bar with two fingers and you will find the battery percentage just bellow the battery icon in the quick settings page.

Great post but I have a question. Does anyone know if there's a quick setting to turn on/off data auto sync?

I love the you can copy and paste by simply dragging text between windows in multi-window. That blew my mind!
I moved from iphone x recently, have few questions about notifications on 0p6t
1.Is there any way to group notification s on lockscreen as well as panel by app.
2. I have turned off ambient display and wake up phone to unlock by face id, on iphone when it is locked you get notification without showing the content, but when you look at it and unlock, the notification will expand and show the content on the lockscreen, any way to get this on 0p6t
3. When ever I try to reply from lockscreen, after it recognises my face and unlocks, it takes me to home screen and there I can reply, is there any way to reply directly from lockscreen.
Thanks.

1. Notifications are already grouped by app even on lock screen. Android starts grouping only after certain number of notifications
2. Not exactly, but Android has similar as well. You can change setting Apps & Notifications - Notifications - On the lockscreen to Hide sensitive content. Not as polished as iPhone x, but it works..
3. You can turn off Auto unlock once the screen is on setting under Settings - Security and Lock screen - Face Unlock

1.Okay
2. I have that setting but when ever it unlocks and I pull down from that notification to show content and reply...it takes me to homescreen and then shows the content. Not on ths lockscreen itself
3.I have already turned it off.
Thanks.
Guys I really wanted to choose which apps show the content on the lock screen. Like for example the music all app controllers. But that is just achieved by enabling all notifications in lock screen. Well then I thought maybe I can go to wassap notifications menu to do not show on the lock screen, but there is no option in the app, as shown in some other oreo apps where there they have in notifications part to not show in lock screen, nor in any other pref. I'm not sure if it's because this is the oreo version of the s5 or why. Also I chickened to install the android pie.
Any app, tweak? Or something? Thanks in advance.
