OnePlus: Enable or Disable Banner Notifications for an App

Missing an important alert, or getting a banner pop-up from an app that should stay quiet? On OnePlus phones, banner notifications only show while the screen is unlocked and depend on a per-category 'Pop on screen' setting that's easy to miss. If that toggle is off, the alert still lands in the notification panel, but it never appears as a banner at the top of the screen.

Banner Notifications for Apps auf OnePlus

Banner notifications on OnePlus phones only appear while the screen is unlocked. They sit above the status bar for a few seconds so you can read or act on a message without opening the app.

This behaviour is controlled per notification category through the Pop on screen setting, not by the general app notification switch. An app can have notifications fully enabled and still never show a banner if this specific option is off for the category the message belongs to.

To check or change it, go to Open the SettingsTap on Apps & notificationsTap on See all appsChoose an appTap on NotificationsChoose a categoryEnable or disable Pop on screen.

Turning Pop on screen off does not silence the app. Notifications still reach the notification panel and the lock screen, they just skip the banner overlay.

If you want to silence an app completely, disable notifications for that app instead of touching individual categories. If banners are missing across many apps at once, check Do Not Disturb or Focus mode first, since either can suppress banners system-wide regardless of the per-app setting.
