As the title suggest, am having issues w/ whatsapp not respecting DND, in that audio + vibration notifications continue through DND hours. these alerts come from messages sent by both favorite and non-favorite contacts. my DND settings is:
type: custom
repeat callers: allow
calls from: contacts only
messages from: none
events/task alert: off
reminders: off
priority app notification: none (definitely not whatsapp)
am on the latest version of whatsapp but have had this problem on earlier versions as well. anyone else encounter this problem?
Having the same issue.. And Facebook messenger aswell. Can't understand why these apps force to work around this...
Edit: Sorted. I had in DND settings allowed custom notifications, but had the message from favorites aswell turned on that was causing the issue in whatapp and messenger. Turning off for messages (but left for calls) it seemed to sort it out
So far I am loving this and I'm coming from the S7. Rooted and unlocked the bootloader yesterday but for the life of me cannot get notification sounds to work. Nine mail, hangouts, and bluemail do not make a noise. So far only facebook messenger and whatsapp make a noise on incoming messages.

I can't get hangouts to even appear in my notifications unless I open the app, and then I get hit with all the texts I received that it failed to notify me for. Google Opinion Rewards never notifies me either. I did the code *#*# and disabled background clean up, and in notification manager I have hangout enabled for everything, and in battery app, and recents window I disabled clean up, with no luck. Hoping it'll get fixed soon, but in the meantime it's frustrating.

Really? Funny because my S7 hangouts would always say no network and I would have to wait a few minutes for them to refresh. I figured out the sounds. it seems like the default tones didn't exist or something so after manually changing them it's working. I still cannot believe the quality of this phone, even the camera which isn't close to my S7 really is not that bad.
I did go in to the battery section and change skype, hangouts and my work email from closed with the app cleanup the phone has
Hi there
I have this issue again where I don't receive notifications with Google Inbox app when I receive email.
I had this issue before on my s6 and it was related to power saving. There was a way to fix this and only for a specific app. But now I can't find it even did Google Search.
Also tried to look into it via S8 settings everywhere but can't find it and I don't want to shut off power savings mode.
Any idea how I can disable it just for specific apps?
you'll need to set Inbox to "Apps not optimized"
in battery usage (device maint. > battery > battery usage > 3 dots > optimized apps )
choose All apps then turn off toggle for Inbox.
I've been having this kind of problem with WhatsApp. I see the notification icon arrive but it doesn't really notify me with sound until after a couple of minutes.
Hopefully what @crayonyes wrote is what I needed. Thanks in advance!
Thanks. I did that. Unfortunately still doesn't work. I checked everything, all notifications & sync is on. I even put Inbox as high priority app. Still no notifications.
I've had so many problems with Google Inbox & notifications on my previous Galaxy and now again. Just really annoying it persists.
Not sure what to do now.

Hello people. I just received my S8+. I have it for 2 days now and everything except one are amazing. The problem is with messenger notifications. I dont get them.

After OREO Beta update I can't disable the annoying WhatsApp popup (showing on top of screen) , somehow the app override my settings config.
I disabled notification on settings - app settings - WhatsApp messages
But after someone send me a message and the annoying popup shows up and the settings went back to default.
Only me??
Same here... Very annoying... Can anyone help?
Tks in advance
do you mean the white head-up notification? if yes:
1) enable usb debugging in dev.settings
2) adb devices
3) to disable all heads-up: adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
4) to enable all heads-up: a db shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1
Do I need to root my phone to do this?
Guys, I still haven't solved this... Anyone can help? I had to disable all whatsapp notification... This does not make sense at all... Oreo is bugged as hell!!! Please help!

Can't you add the app to game tuner or game launcher (not sure which one) and disable notifications?
I guess it at least works when whatsapp is open.
The only way to solve this is installing an older whatsapp version (prior to oreo) ... I did it and now is working perfectly...
There is a bug with whatsapp and the notifications channels...
there is no error, and google does not do something without being able to customize its options and more referring to notifications.
To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen).
I hope that is the solution that several users are looking for. Greetings.
Anyway to disable notification bar contents as well or disable notification bar in general and get some sort of icon on the top showing there is something to whatsapp related.. going to be honest my wife sometimes sends me some subjective material and I don't want the world to see.
Notification seeting reverts back
Hi
I followed the steps
"To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen)."
But when the next WhatsApp message come in it reverts to Urgent by itself , even if you turn off notifications completely.
Same for others?:
Same thing here. I've done that countless of times. Instead of Urgent, I set it to low because I don't want any sound, and for sure not that super annoying dropdown notification that appears on screen.
All I want, is a little whatsapp symbol on top letting me know there is a message, or if customized that way, a blinking light when a message comes in. Silent.
But to no avail, it always gets back to "Urgent".
I'll try medium now.
Anyone found a solution for this? I have the same issue, soon as i get a whatsapp message it reverts the notification settings! So frustrating!
EDIT: Okay I found something that works for me. In the Settings > Notifications > Whatsapp, I set the profile to be "High", and it hasn't overwritten my changes yet, no popup anymore.

Couldn't find the same importance level under the WeChat setting mentioned sad, why is that some app like WhatsApp has these setting while others don't
No matter what I do I still get the pop up notifications once I receive a new message
Setting the Importance to 'High' worked for me to stop WhatsApp heads up. I have Samsung Note 8 on Oero 8.0.
Thank you thank you thank you. Been doing my head in since getting my Note 8.
can anyone post the whatsapp version pre oreo that doesn't have the notification bug issue?
Setting the importance to "high" solves part of the problem since it disables pop-ups. But that doesn't solve the vibration/sound problem...
Setting it to "medium" or "low" doesn't work since it will revert back to "high" after the next message I receive.
So there's currently no way to solve this : I either get full notifications from WhatsApp (vibration on each message, including group messages, okay no pop-up but 300 vibrations per day is quite annoying), or I disable all WhatsApp notifications and then I don't get anything... Retarded design
It's seriously bugged as hell... Was super fine in Nougat (using Galaxy S7 edge)
Ok
Hasn't this been solved yet? Why the hell does WhatsApp override the settings in the notification channels after you change them? How can this even be allowed by the OS?
I've been facing the same issue for months. I want my group chats to be set to "low" importance and my private messages to "high", which works perfectly fine with Telegram. But WhatsApp keeps reverting the settings no matter what I do.
Any way to solve this?
Exact same problem here, super annoying.
