iOS 16 notifications disappear from Notification Centre

On iOS 16. If I have notifications, once they are viewed in Notification Centre they disappear so I can’t re-read them again later if they don’t need responding to immediately. I hope I explained this clearly. I’m finding it very frustrating. Is there a way to fix?

update 2: after system reinstall I see that this is the way system is designed. It means that once the notification is displayed, even if you don’t read it, it will disappear from the visible notifications. To see this notification you have to swipe up from the Lock Screen (or swipe down when device is unlocked and then swipe up) to see the Notification Centre manually.


it sounds ridiculous that you have to remember to check unread notifications later. The whole list of notifications should be visible somewhere all the time to help you keep tracking important messages.

It's getting ridicilous. Today got like 20 notifications, in the morning reacted on like 1 or 2 of them, didn't even realize there was so many other important messages, now about 10 hours later I accidentally notice there was so also notifications about people sending me money so that I should have posted items already. But all of those other notifications went right down to sewer (notification centre) to make room for new ones. This is starting to really make the phone's user feel really stupid. What a disturbing fiasco feature.

This is really maddening and obviously a glitch. Since the recent IOS update, once you unlock your fone, your notifications disappear. So if you have notifications showing on the Lock screen, but you don't have time to look at each of them right now, but need to use your fone, you lose all the notifications (for example, all those that appeared when you went to sleep will be gone once you unlock the screen). They are no longer in the notification center, they are just GONE. So if you wake up, need to make a call immediately so you unlock your fone, you LOSE all the notifications from during the nite before. This is patently wrong and needs to be FIXED!!!!

Hi this morning I revived notifications from my bank and when I clicked on them they opened and then disappeared- and I could not find a way to re read them. These were transaction notifications that indicated fraud transactions . So when I called the bank they asked me for the details but I could not see those notifications again . Hence how do I see a notification again after I have read them and hence stop them from disappearing pls .
