Notification categories missing ?

[Linuxgeek]

hello , so i am testing one ui 8.5 beta on my galaxy A36 since it was released. On trying to mute certain app notifications i noticed the "notification categories" menu which we used to see on long pressing a notification is missing. This was a useful feature in case of some food delivery apps as you can still get important updates while blocking annoying pormotional notifications.

i have attached a screenshot for this

i am not sure if this is a bug or done intentionally. I don't think android OS has removed it in android 16. 

An important information to note is that i also did a factory reset of the device after installing the beta. i am don't remember if this menu was there before the factory reset. But a factory reset shouldn't introduce more bugs.

In settings go to Notifications > Advanced Settings and make sure "Manage notification categories for each app" is turned on.
