For the love of everything, PLEASE allow us to clear a notification by swiping it to the left the moment it pops up at the top of your screen.

For as long as I can remember, it still pisses me off that every single time I get a notification that I don’t care about, I have to swipe down the Notification Center to clear it. Just let me clear it the moment it pops up so that I don’t have to pause what I’m doing, especially when watching videos.

And no, I can’t just wait and then clear them all at the end of the day. I don’t want the notifs that actually matter to get cluttered between the ones I don’t want at any moment.

Is it just me or does this bother you guys as well?

Side note - iOS26 has been a little buggy in some places. I use an iPhone 14 Pro.
