How to view Android notification history

Canceling notifications is a double-edged sword; there is a satisfying sense of accomplishment in firing them, but every now and then you may be too anxious and dismiss a notification that you needed to read in more detail.

If you’ve ever cleared a notification right before you realized you need it, Android 11 has a handy new feature. Its notification history allows you to browse ignored alerts from the previous 24 hours. It’s like a trash can for your app’s messages.
