I have a notification that won't go away. I've acknowledged it (I rejected a friend request from someone I don't know) but it still shows up in bold at the top of each page. How do I get rid of if?
There could be a few reasons for this. It's possible that the notification is from a third-party app and they have their own settings for how long notifications stay visible. It's also possible that the notification is related to a system update or malfunction, which may require further troubleshooting.
Yes, you can manually dismiss the notification by swiping or tapping on it. This should remove it from your notification bar and it should not reappear unless there is a new notification for that same issue.
It's possible, but unlikely. Most modern smartphones have security measures in place to prevent spam or viruses from infiltrating your device through notifications. If you suspect that the notification is spam or a virus, do not interact with it and consider running a security scan on your device.
If the notification is from a specific app, you can go into your device's settings and adjust the notification settings for that app. You can also turn off notifications for that app altogether. If the notification is from your device's system, you may need to troubleshoot the issue further or seek assistance from a professional.
It depends on the type of notification and the cause of it. If it is a one-time notification, acknowledging it should make it go away permanently. However, if it is a recurring notification, it may continue to appear until the underlying issue is resolved. If the notification is related to a system update or malfunction, it may require further troubleshooting to fully resolve the issue.
