I just downloaded and installed the new iOS 10 and the first thing I noticed that I want to change is the notifications. I would like to get them grouped by app again, how I had them set up on iOS 9. However, I can't seem to find this option anywhere in the settings. Can someone please tell me how I can change this setting or if it's no longer an option?
Thank you in advance.
iPhone 6, iOS 10
The notification grouping was an option! So if that annoying you then you was able to turn it off! But removing it completely by apple means they ignore a larg varaity of customers which shows their weakness!

I'm well aware of the fact it was optional, as you would have realized if you'd read my post through to the end with any care. You don't know that a large number of people made use of the option. It's possible it wasn't nearly as popular as you think. Or, it may have caused some sort of conflict. We have no way of knowing. So, submit your feedback to Apple.
Just left this on http://www.apple.com/feedback
Yes, I'm putting this down as a bug report because there is no way I can comprehend that you would remove "sorting notifications by application" intentionally.
Now that notifications are useless for me, I just want to turn them all off and can't figure out how to do that either without going to every application. Please fix this.
Unfortunately the latest update to iOS10 (10.1) hasn't fixed this. There has to be a reason which we are all unaware of.
With that being said, keep the lobbying going via the feedback site and hopefully it will get reinstated shortly!
The removal of this option destroyed my whole workflow. I intentionally have a specific daytime when I deal with the notifications and messages.
Now it is completely chaotic and wastes more time than not to use it at all.
Used the feedback option and hope each update for it to return!
I finally upgraded to iOS 10 and the first thing I did was try to change the notification option as well but after not finding it, I did a search and found out that the feature was removed, and then I found this thread. I have already submitted my feedback so no need to lecture on doing this, but I wanted to show my support as the option was widely used and missed. I liked the cleaner interface of my old iOS and wished I did not upgrade. Every day I would be prompted to update and now finally I figured most of the bugs should be worked out, so I broke down and upgraded, but after reading this I wish I hadn't. I have been a longtime supporter of the iPhone but this may be my last.
It's pretty bad now that you can't group notifications by app. I now no longer view my notifications anymore.
Don't understand why they had to take away the option instead of making it configurable.

Did you submit your feedback to Apple?
Yes, please submit feedback to Apple. The more the better!

No, I have no interest in the feature. I think Apple was correct to remove a potentially confusing option. Feature bloat is a problem even in iOS.
Fair enough. Have to agree to disagree on it being confusing though.

I always appreciate disagreement with civility. 🙂
I agree with others; the absence of this feature is a problem. I've missed meetings because the reminder notification was buried among other trivial notifications. I recently missed an urgent call/voice mail because the notification was buried among others. As a work-around, I've disabled all notifications on my phone except for a few apps. It's not my preference, but there's really no alternative. Like others, I've submitted a request to Apple requesting this feature be returned.
Apple, don't mess with us!
I was wondering why you don't bring back the feature with the last update to iOS 10.2. What's the problem to give us some sorting/grouping options for the notification center?
I guess Apple doesn't take care of this community but I'm still hopeful.

This is a user-to-user forum. As noted in the Terms of Use to which you agreed when you registered, Apple's participation is minimal. If you want Apple to know how you feel, use the feedback link.
