    If I hide an app on Android, will its notifications still appear?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, hiding an app typically does not prevent its notifications from appearing in your notification center or on your lock screen. To stop receiving notifications, you must manually disable them through the app's settings or your Android device's system settings. If you disable notifications, you will need to open the app directly to view any updates.
