Notification history is an underrated feature on Android devices, and Google has made it quite easy to access once enabled.
You can either click on the “History” button when notifications are present or click on the “No notification” text when notifications are not present.
Google doesn’t make it obvious that you can click the text, as there is no visual element to indicate its clickability.

The new Pixel 9 series (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-9-3365966/) is an excellent lineup of Android flagships, and I have thoroughly enjoyed using the Pixel 9 Pro XL (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-9-pro-xl-review-3476811/). The new phones have many minor features that add up to a delightful experience. If you got your hands on a new Pixel, here’s a little-known Pixel UI (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-pixel-features-explained-3217987/) tip: You can quickly check out notification history from the notification panel to revisit a notification you have read, even if you have no notifications.

Notification history is one of the underrated and lesser-known Android features. This feature maintains a log of recent notifications, including snoozed notifications, dismissed notifications, and a history of the last day of notifications. However, the feature is optional for OEMs to implement. Even if they implement it, many OEMs disable the feature out-of-the-box or hide it in a random nook and cranny in the Settings app. Even on Pixel phones, you need to enable the feature at Settings > Notifications > Notification history before the log of recent notifications is saved.
