This is somewhat off topic. I have read through other people's comments about good and bad experiences with push notifications on Apple and Android. People use them as Todo lists and for a number of things.

For something so critical, why has Apple or Google not created a push notification log on your device? Some of us live by our notifications and the fact that I accidentally swiped an important notification away or I thought I saw a slack notification come through but couldn't find it gives me anxiety.

As important as push is to our daily lives, you would think there would be more innovation in managing these notifications.

One of the effects of a truly feature-complete notification center would be that messenger/social media user may lose any incentive to open that app.

Which I personally would be fine with; but which goes somewhat counter to the currently-mainstream model of “free” ad-supported social media and messaging platforms.

This ties into my long-standing argument that we should normalize paid social. We should be allowed to pay a fee just for the pipe. A paid platform would be incentivized to provide its users with all the flexibility, APIs and integrations, including third-party GUIs such as OS’s built-in notification center.

I'm surprised this isn't more of a thing. From what I understand this is coming to Android 11 though https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/03/20/android-11-tweaks-h...
