I understand you accidentally swiped away the Google Sports live notification and now the live score in the "Now bar" (which I assume you mean the Quick Panel or Notification Shade) is also gone. Let's get that back for you!
Since you're using a Galaxy S25 Ultra with One UI 7, the exact steps might vary slightly depending on the specific One UI 7 version, but here's what you can try:
1. Check Google App Notifications:
Go to Settings > Apps > Google.
Tap "Notifications."
Make sure notifications are turned "On" for the Google app.
Look for a specific category related to "Sports" or "Live Scores" and ensure that's enabled as well. It might be under a general "Sports" category or a more specific name like "Live Updates."
In the Google app's notification settings (as described above), some versions of Android/One UI allow you to customize the behavior of each notification category.
If you see a settings icon (usually a gear) next to the "Sports" or "Live Scores" category, tap it.
Make sure the settings are configured to show notifications in the notification shade and allow them to appear as pop-ups or banners.
3. Google App Settings:
Open the Google app.
Tap your profile picture (or initial) in the top right corner.
Tap "Settings."
Look for a section related to "Sports," "Notifications," or "Interests." The exact wording will vary.
Make sure you've selected your favorite sports and teams.
Ensure that notifications for live scores and updates are enabled within the app settings.
4. Google Discover Feed Settings:
Sometimes, sports scores appear as cards in the Google Discover feed (the feed you see when you swipe right on your home screen).
Open the Google app.
Check your Discover feed for sports scores.
If you see a sports score card, tap the three dots in the top right corner of the card.
Select "More like this" or "Follow this topic" to ensure you continue to see sports updates in your feed.
5. Check if the "Now Bar" is a Samsung Feature (and if it's Enabled):
If the "Now Bar" is a specific Samsung feature (separate from Google notifications), you might need to enable it in Samsung settings.
Go to Settings and search for "Now Bar" or "Quick Panel customization."
If you find a setting related to the "Now Bar," make sure it's turned on and that sports scores are enabled to appear there. (It is likely the "Quick Panel" or under the "Lock Screen" settings).
By following these steps, you should be able to restore the Google Sports live notifications and the live score in the "Now bar" on your Galaxy S25 Ultra. Let me know if you have trouble finding any of these settings or if you have any other questions!
