Using the Facebook Messenger thing on a recently updated Android 8 (finally, Huawei pieces of rotten eggs) is a friggin' pain in the starhole. For the life of me I can't seem to fudging remove this damn useless notification popping up... (pic)

It's more intrusive than the app itself... D:

I guess I'll need to trash the app then.. Good fucking riddance!

Hold on... I mean hang on... no... and not yourself.

Tap that notification, hold it, deactivate the notification. Is it that difficult? :/ Or not possible (no effect?)?

Edit: But yeah, kill it with fire... :3

@Irithyll No avance, neither tapping it once; there it shows that the option "Permit drawing over other apps" is Enabled - But I want it like that.

Holding it, shows me the settings to show Android notifications etc. None are enabled...

So..; just now I toggled that first mentioned option off and on, that was enabled...

It's gone. WTF - "Have you tried to turn it off and on again?" isn't a good fucking UX. AT ALL. >.<

Aaaahr =')

@xewl
🤔 Just tapping shows the options ofc...

You should only hold that, too, not only tap it 😂

Have fun 😝 Hopefully it's gone forever :3

@Irithyll It's back... I guess the toggle didn't fix it after all xD

Well just disable the notification.

Hold the notification, toggle it once, go back.

OR / AND

Have a look at the settings directly - Settings > Apps and Notifications > ...

It isn't messenger, it's Android 8. I get them for a variety of things. They're super annoying. I'm yet to figure out the way to prevent them.

@qwerty77asdf Exactly! No way to turn off those damn notifs.
@Bl4ck0u7 Presumably that's something I might have to wait for, another year...

@xewl
Okay... I just disabled the notification for "overlay" by holding that notification, touched the toggle (to grey) and pressed the "Done" button.

It's working on an Android 8.1 system... just a normal feature 🤔

I tested it with Myki - it should be the same notification option (in your Settings... duh 😂) for Messenger - the "default" notification.

@Irithyll Mine's on 8.0 and that, sadly, doesn't work. It just reverts to being untouched.

@xewl
There is that option, right?
You toggle the button and it's toggling back? OR does it stay off BUT the notification still is visible?

In both cases - that's not default Android behaviour xD That should be a bug... report that bug... 😝

Edit: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...

Well... that's interesting, too 🤔

@xewl
Maybe this?

@Irithyll Will look into the XDA article later, thnx xD Should've researched that myself, but I've been so busy grr xD Cheers!
