Mail "rich" notification - taking up half screen for one message

[btownguy]

With the upgrade to iOS 10, I really am not liking how the notifications for Mail are working. Each time I get a message the notification takes up half of my screen. I believe previously all that was shown was the sender and the subject. That's all I need. If I turn off "Show Previews", all I get is the sender which isn't helpful as I would also like to see the subject. Any way to change this?

I also notice that as well, Kind of gets in the way I agree.

Yep, those rich notifications are a pretty spectacular waste of space - you're not the only one.

Aren't the notifications supposed to go away when you open its app? I see notifications still there that need to be cleared manually/

Has anyone figured out a fix yet? I'm assuming not and we'll have to wait for a sender/subject like we use to have.

Many notifications stick on screen, it's clearly a bug.

rich notifications are only visible when you 3d touch on regular notifications, or swipe and view on older devices.

are you saying rich notifications are large (because yes they are, but that's almost the point of them) or are you saying the regular notifications are also large?

op, some screenshots would be useful

There are 2 types of notifications...

Banners: They drop down, then go away.
Alerts: They drop down and stay. Also, they look like banners now. Not like the windows that used to just pop up in the middle of your screen.

You might want to check which you have checked for each app.

There is an option to only show one or two lines somewhere in Settings.

i believe that only applies to the mail app itself

I have it set to show preview in notifications, then to show one line in the mail settings. With that, it then only shows the sender, subject and one line of the email. Nothing else.

I wish there was a requirement for all developers to offer the option of no notification previews.

This is not a perfect fix, but it is better!

Switch preview on in Settings>Notifications

Go to Steeings>Mail>Preview and change to 1 Line.



That will then display the sender, the subject and just the first line of the email.

As I said, not a fix, but better than all or nothing!

I know. It's set correctly.
