Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Certain notifications have been stuck in notifications center for me (iPhone 6, iOS 9).
When I click the "x" the "clear" option appears, but when clicked it just goes back to the "x" and the notification remains.
Restarting the phone seems to fix the issue but then it occurs again.
It seems to happen primarily to notifications from Mail.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.0.1
Hello David,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see where the notifications are not clearing for you. A combination of quitting the app and then a force restart of the iPhone will frequently resolve this issue. See the following articles for the steps to take these steps.
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I figured the issue was that I have a 5c and iPad 2, but the first poster had a 6. I'm hesitant to upgrade the iPad any further because it has slowed down after going to 9 along with the notifications clearing bug.
Thank you, I spent an hour trying to figure this out before deciding to just search for th answer online!!! 😍
Thanks !!!
I had a similar problem on OS X El Capitan and I tried the tip of davidbfunny. It worked perfectly!
Thank you
I've had this problem for months and months and it only gets worse. I've tried everything mentioned on this thread. I was sitting on three ghost notifications up until today where I've now got four. I need this resolved now because I cannot stand seeing it and I need to use my emails daily.
I've the same problem in newer iOS update 9.3...
I've been having the same issue since iOS9. Some notifications seem to just stick and refuse to clear. I am on iOS 9.3.1 and the issue still persists. This is getting ridiculous.
Same problem. Cant delete notifications (more often with Instagram) Last updates solve nothing. Reset iPhone as new device and same problem.
This is crazy!!! I had this issue with iPhone 6 over a year and now with iPhone 6s 9.3.1 !!! Hard reboot with home and power button clearing this up but it still happening. Apple please fix this bug!!!
Ive noticed the temporary solution to this, but has there been any actual permanent fix for this ? I've dealt with this issue quietly for about 2 years now almost.
Thanks davidbfunny.. I am using iPhone with OS version 9.3.3 and up till now still having the same problem.. 😁
So I had this issue for months now, and the most recent ios updates don't fix it. Anyone had a resolution? It is annoying. Thanks!
We are in August 2016 and I still get this issue. I guess Apple will hopefully fix it with iOS 10....
I have the same problem too
Change device from Iphone 5S to Iphone 6S and restore completely the phone and reinstall all apps, very very unplaisant duty .... But the bug is back ...
What do we need to do to be listenned by Apple and to see this bug solved ?????
I am currently on call with the Apple Care service trying to explain this bug ...
They will be of no help as they did not fix this issue; quite amazing. I have it on my iPads and iPhones. it is usually the mail notifications that don't clear. It can be iOS or Mac OS, it reminds me more and more like the old Microsoft
Can't clear notifications iOS 9
