Android 8 (codename Oreo) Notifications

Possibly the best feature Google has implemented. As of Android 8 you can change the notification settings for every app individually based on categories wherein you can configure its visibility and sound.
This feature has to be implemented in the app’s code for this feature to work; however, each app has an on/off option regardless.
I have yet to figure out what “allow notification dot” means.

Edit: the notification dot is the number on the app icon on the homepage (ie unread count on the Messenger icon).
