I use whatsapp with silent notification but one UI 6 is not showing pop ups on S24 with silent notifications, it forces me to have them turned on with some notification tone then the notifications start popping.
Is there any way around it? I want the popups but without any sound just like my previous phones.
Why does it feel like that every UI upgrade is a step backwards?? (Just like it forces you to have a recyble bin now and you cant turn it off 🙄🙄)
Thanks it works but it silences every other notification as well (messages, insta, etc). I just want to silence whatsapp and still receive the notification pop up.
WhatsApp pop-up notifications allow messages to appear in a pop-up window on your screen, even when you're using other apps or the device is locked. To enable it on Android, go to WhatsApp Settings Notifications Pop-up notification and choose when it should appear. On iPhone, notifications are managed through Settings Notifications WhatsApp using banners or lock screen alerts. Ensure notification settings are properly enabled and check that battery saver or Do Not Disturb modes aren't blocking them. This feature helps you quickly view and reply to messages without opening WhatsApp.
To get WhatsApp pop-ups without sound on your S24 with One UI 6:
Notification Settings: Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Notifications. Ensure "Pop-up Notification" is enabled.
Silent Notifications: Under the notification settings, select "Silent" for notification sounds. This should allow pop-ups without sound.
Do Not Disturb Mode: You can also enable "Do Not Disturb" mode and allow notifications from WhatsApp only, ensuring no sound is played.
Feedback to Samsung: Consider providing feedback to Samsung about your experience with UI changes, as user input can lead to improvements in future updates.
These steps should help you achieve your desired notification settings!
