I don’t think I’ve ever used android for more than about 30 seconds on someone else’s phone. I wasn’t aware there was a difference in the notification system. What makes android better?

Android notifications can be more interactive. They're you perform quick actions like reactions to slack messages or archiving emails. Basically the things you can do on an Apple Watch but not the iPhone.

That’s up to the developer, the APIs have existed for 2ish years I think. I reply to texts and Slack messages through notifications.

There are limits, but it’s not display only like it used to be.

I have yet to see a single interactive notification. What settings do you have to configure to get Slack to let you reply from a notification?

I just long pressed on a Slack notification and a “reply” text box appeared above the keyboard.

Thanks, I had no idea this was a thing on iOS.

I believe you have to grab the notification and sort of “drag it down” to see the interactive part. It’s not shown by default.

Long press on it to bring up the options. And drag to left for options to change notification preferences.

I reply to slack notification on Apple Watch with dictation or canned message. Reply on phone just opens slack.
