Casting shared controls multiple notifications wanted

Androidian — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 15:16:59 GMT

Hello. I'm able to view one notification at a time on my phone for shared controls when devices are casting. My question is, can I see more than one notification at a time on my phone for when more than one device is casting at a time? I think I used to be able to do that on my older phone, which was Android 12, but on my newer phone, which is the Google Pixel 7 Pro on Android 13, I'm only able to find a way to see one notification at a time. If I swipe one away then I can see another one, but then the one I swept away is gone and can't be seen anymore. I can't figure out how to see more than one at a time, as more than one notification on my phone. Is there any way to turn on multiple notifications for shared controls? Thanks.

Casting shared controls notifications, more than one at a time?

If you clear or snooze your notification, you can go to your notification history to view them again. Note to do this the notification history must be turned on

Open your phone's Settings app.
Tap Notifications > Notification history.
Turn Use notification history on or off.

Yes I know about notification history. But I'm not interested in that for this purpose. I'm hoping to easily be able to switch between different casting devices, using a notification for each casting device, and see what is casting and control the devices if needed.

Hi folks,

Thanks for visiting the Community.

@MsDrasby, thanks for helping us out answer this thread.

@Androidian, we're sorry to hear about this. It looks like it's a device specific issue since it worked fine using a different phone. Could you send us a screenshot on what you're getting from your 2 phones so we can compare it? We'd love to know more so we can check what steps we can try.

Best,

Princess

Old phone: Motorola Moto Edge 2021, Android 12. Shows separate notifications for each casting device.

New Phone: Pixel 7 Pro, Android 13. Only shows 1 notification at a time, even when multiple devices are casting.

See screenshots, one from each device. They were taken at the same time while 2 devices were casting.

How can I get the Pixel 7 Pro to show a notification for each device? It helps with overall management of devices. Thanks!

So no one knows how to fix this to see multiple notifications at the same time?
