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).
