Android 14 removes the ability to view notifications by long clicking the application desktop icon

CTOnews.com, November 20, Android 14 removes the ability to long press the icon on the home screen to quickly view notifications from the application.

Android 13

Before Android 14, users could see notifications from the app simply by pressing a long icon on the desktop or in the app list. If there are multiple notifications, only one full notification will be displayed, along with a counter in the corner. Users can either open the notification directly or swipe to delete it. This feature is useful for users who have a variety of message reminders in the notification bar, and it goes well with notification dots.

In Android 14 systems, long-pressing icons only show application shortcuts, as well as application information, pause applications, and widgets.

In fact, this change occurred during the beta version of Android 14. In August, Google said it was deliberate and "will not fix it".

Android 14 system Stability was launched on Pixel phones last month, and many users have asked to restore this feature.

CTOnews.com should point out that the above change is only for native Android, and most users may not view notifications by long-pressing the app icon, so the change is not obvious to many users.
