Issue Details

I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (phone), and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ (tablet) - both are running AdGuard 4.5.

On my Galaxy S24 Ultra, I can go to AdGuard Settings > General > App notifications - and at the bottom there is Notification categories - which is a standard Android feature that most apps have.

However, on my Galaxy Tab S9+, if I go to App notifications there is no Notification categories at the bottom.

This means I'm unable to configure the individual notification categories according to my needs, as I can on my Galaxy S24.

Other apps on my tablet include notification categories, so I don't believe this is some limitation of the device itself.

Expected Behavior

Expected behaviour is being able to view notification categories on all Android devices.

Actual Behavior

No notification categories available on Galaxy Tab S9+.

Are you sure:
"Other apps on my tablet include notification categories"?

Maybe this is caused by a recently added Samsung setting. In Android settings, go to Notifications > Advanced settings > "Manage notification categories for each app" and enable this option. Maybe this solves your problem?

"Manage notification categories for each app" was indeed disabled - no idea how or when that setting was added - I've never seen it before. But this has fixed it - thanks! I'll close the issue then.
