It’s iOS 14 and there is still this annoying issues with notification. I’ll be on my iPhone, getting notifications for iMessages, mail, and others, no problem. Then I’ll pick up my iPad after not being on it all day, and those same notifications come though one after the other for a bit, and it’s annoying. Why am I still getting these notifications when I already took care of them on my iPhone? Is there a work around for this?
 
My brother had a similar complaint not long after updating to iOS 14, saying that previously notifications would sync between devices i.e. dismissing on iPhone would dismiss it on iPad, etc then as well. I told him, I've never seen that behavior. Except for the Apple Watch properly dismissing them on my iPhone and vice-versa, my devices handle notifications separately i.e. I need to view or dismiss the same notifications on each device. Very tedious, though I assumed it was the normal behavior. His eventually corrected(?) itself. Basically, for me, what you're describing is the usual. So 🤷‍♂️.
 
I’m having the same issue since upgrading to the 12 Pro Max. Already reported it to Apple.

You should not.
What I do on my 12 ProMax or IPP 11 reflects on the other. There have been times during betas I have had to acknowledge individually on each device but that is the exception.
At this time I am runnig both my devices on 14.3 b3 and except for some lag (and Safari tabs) what I do on one reflects on the other in terms of Messages, Mail, and Notes.

Thanks for reporting.
