View Deleted App Notifications on Android Phone

However, not all smartphones feature notification history or logs like Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco. But there is an alternative solution to recovering cleared notifications if your device doesn’t include one, which we will discuss in the last part of this guide.

Here are the Android phone makers that offer notification history on their devices:

• Samsung Galaxy
• Google Pixel
• Realme
• Vivo
• OnePlus
• Motorola
• Nokia / HMD
• Tecno

Keep in mind that notifications you can be viewed back are limited to a few restrictions such as those notifications from the last 24 hours are visible in the log. Depending on your device brand and model, you should see a recently dismissed notification and section for the last 24 hours.

In addition, you can only view notifications from apps and services you have enabled access to. For example, apps with blocked notification permission won’t show in your log. And for phones running on stock Android OS like Google Pixel, history is not supported for ‘At a glance’ notifications.

Accessing old notifications is through the notifications history or log which is typically found inside the Notifications settings. Follow the steps below on how to go to your notification history and check if the feature is switched on.

1. Go to Settings on your phone.
2. Select Notifications.
3. Tap on Notification history.
   1. Toggle on if it is disabled, only then new notifications will be recorded.
4. Scroll down from the notifications list which are categorized per app.

Also remember that you’re going to turn off the notification history feature, recent and old notifications will be erased.

If you have a Galaxy phone or tablet, the process for viewing old notifications is basically the same. The main difference is that this is placed inside the Advanced settings. So here’s how to access the notification history on a Samsung handset.

1. Open Settings on your Galaxy phone.
2. Select Notifications.
3. Choose Advanced settings then tap on Notification history.
   1. If disabled, toggle it to turn on.
4. Now you can see your recent notifications.

As for Realme, the notification history is found inside the App & notifications settings. Depending on the model and Android OS version, the feature is switched by default. If not, you can follow the guide next on how to enable it.

1. Open Settings on your Realme, Vivo, or Oppo phone.
2. Select App & notifications.
3. Tap on Notifications.
4. Go to Notification history.
5. Toggle it to turn on if it is disabled.

If your device like Xiaomi or Redmi doesn’t come with notification history, there are a few third-party app options. Most are free, although many advanced features can only be unlocked by subscriptions or buying the premium version of these apps.

Notification History Log by ZipoApps is a well-designed app that keeps a log of all notifications (up to a day old, but you can pay for a more comprehensive history), and after you activate the ‘Advanced History’ settings, it allows you to launch the app responsible for those notifications. You’re able to blacklist certain apps and customize what gets recorded for recovery.

Another method to bring notification history to your Xiaomi phone is by installing Activity Launcher. The app adds extra admin controls and features to your device, including the notification history feature. Download and install the app then find Settings > Notification history from the app menu.
