One of the most annoying things that I put up with on a regular basis in terms of dismissing iMessage or Gmail notification banners from my Lock Screen or Notification Center is that the app icon badge pertaining to that notification doesn’t actually go away. In essence, launching the app to make the badge go away makes me feel like I’m investing twice the effort to dismiss that notification in its entirety.

Remember all those jailbreak tweaks that used to bring classic Pokémon game-styled aesthetics to iPhone and iPad notifications? PokeBar, one that we showed you back in 2020, comes to mind, as does a similar release for iOS 12 by iOS developer SkittyBlock. These add-ons were popular among jailbreak enthusiasts, and among fans of the original Pokémon games.
