A refinement that I have been hoping for since OneUI7 is to have selective notification dismissal. Another way to put it, is to allow the user to select which notifications that they want to be "sticky," and not accidentally swipe away. 

This could be accomplished by long pressing each notification and then selecting a setting to swipe away or keep active. The user still has full control if they change their mind about a specific notification.

I believe this would be very useful for apps such as weather and many others that can be accidentally swiped away. 

Give this post a like if you would also like to see this refinement in notification settings per app.

      Yea! A way to selectively pin notifications so they can't be swiped and don't clear would be really nice!

      I think the reason for this request might be that users keep accidentally dismissing important notifications. Of all the custom Android skins I have used, I have faced this issue specifically with One UI. There seems to be something wrong with the gesture sensitivity. Swiping up on the notification panel can accidentally dismiss the notification that happens to be under your finger. This is especially likely when the notification panel is full.
