I had the same issue, just long press on that notification and turn it off

I think it may be one of the notification categories. You can toggle certain types of notifications of apps like group notification, back up notification etc.

Check the settings for the app

Notifications can appear either on the Lock Screen, in the Notification Center, or as a banner. You can choose which notifications per app appear as what. Lock Screen notifications are your most recent notifications, if they’re enabled. Over time, new notifications come in and those older ones get moved to Notification Center, if they’re also enabled there as well. Banners are immediate notifications when the phone is unlocked and in use. Once dismissed, they are then moved to the Lock Screen if enabled, and then eventually the Notification Center. Simply looking at the notification or even expanding the notification window is not considered as “interacting” with it. The only way to actively dismiss notifications is to either interact by pressing them to open the app, long-pressing the notification to bring up options to choose from that are set up by the app developer, or clearing it from Notification Center by swiping left or clearing all notifications at once, if they appear there. Simply opening the app directly from the Home Screen or App Library is not guaranteed to dismiss notifications or badge counts because your device does not know which notifications to dismiss when opening. That is also up to the app developer to configure how notifications and badge are handled.

Apps are sandboxed from each other and from the operating system itself. The only service capable of marking an email as read in Outlook app is a service handled by Outlook app itself. The app is completely incapable of knowing that you expanded the notification window, and an email being read is handled by your email server / app, not by iOS (for instance I can mark an Outlook email as read or unread through the default mail app, and that will reflect in the Outlook app as well).

Did you check out Buzzkill? It gives your more control over the notifications and you can set rules as per your convenience. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.buzzkill

You can intercept the notification ID and after replying dismiss it using that ID. (Did the same thing using auto notification)

click mark as readed

Intercept whatsapp notifications and in the task cancel it if the notification does NOT have mark as read button. To cancel you need to set variables under advanced section

Don't use whatsapp but since I use a samsung phone these are normally inside the app info. You go there, go to the notification section and there might be a notification categories, tap on in and disable "show as pop-up"

You can set that up on the options of the notifications, not on WhatsApp. Tap and hold on a WhatsApp notification and check the settings. You should be able to disable that somehow (sorry, I don't remember how it's called exactly). If you don't want to mess too much with it, just change its priority and then they will become silent.

Go into your overall phone settings (not just WhatsApp), select apps, then choose WhatsApp and the first option should be notifications.

Are they by any chance bubble notification? Try looking for that

I experience this on a daily basis.

Give yourself permission to tell people that you will get back to them when you can. You can even do this in advance. Explain how the overwhelm affects your ADHD, and tell them that if you aren't answering, that is the reason.

Turn off notifications on social media. Possibly delete the apps.

That stuff really isn't that important. You don't have to reply to everything on there. It's sending messages into the masses.

Email? If someone emails it can usually wait a day. If it's an emergency they will call. Check it once or twice a day. Maybe bit more often if you are expecting something important.

Also turn off notifications of massive group texts. Just check it every once in a while. So your phone isn't blowing up when they are having a conversation.

Same. I constantly feel anxiety over needing to reply to messages and emails. And shame over ghosting friendships

Every single time. I feel like I have to explain myself… or “omg I can’t believe I just now saw your text” (a week later). Or, sorry if took so long for me to respond…. Then I list a ton of stuff I did between then and now and act like each thing was unbelievably time-consuming. I hate doing it but I do it to everyone.

this is a widget, if you hold down on it it should give you the option to drag it or press "remove from home" :).

Yes, it's the smart pop-up view that you have enabled for WhatsApp, disabling that, will solve your issue/concern

I think it's the chat shortcut you created for that person.

It's a bubble Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Smart pop-up view. :)

I don’t see any workaround. I believe I would just stop reading WhatsApp on my phone, use only the desktop app and manage time slots only to read WhatsApp and translate it to my own task app or to notes... but that’s barely a bandaid on an infected wound.

Sorry for the shameless plug, but my team and I work on the solution that helps to organize and collaborate on important work-related messages from Whatsapp. It may be helpful to your case.

I would love to speak with you and find out more about the way Whatsapp is integrated into your work. Do you mind if I DM you?

I can’t believe they think WhatsApp is a suitable tool.

Threads in slack were designed to solve this very use case. In your case best solution is to mute the groups for 1 hour and looking at regular intervals to derive actionable tasks. Write down the tasks in any app you like (Todoist, Microsoft todo , Notion etc) or a notebook if you like.

From my knowledge there isn't too much you can do about this situation.

To me WhatsApp doesn't seem to be a very efficient system for work.

You could take up some programming and make something to manage your WhatsApp messages (probably already exists) but regardless that is a lot of effort to setup.

The better solution for you and your company is to change messaging software to something like Slack. This probably isn't going to happen tho because the company bureaucracy.
