Continuing the discussion from [Possibility to selectively (or completely) mark notifications as read](https://meta.discourse.org/t/possibility-to-selectively-or-completely-mark-notifications-as-read/20227/3):
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/possibility-to-selectively-or-completely-mark-notifications-as-read/20227/3?u=remah](https://meta.discourse.org/t/possibility-to-selectively-or-completely-mark-notifications-as-read/20227/3)
As far as I can tell it is still the case that badge notifications do not show up as read despite the declared irritation with that state two years ago.
I just received [twenty notifications for earning ‘Nice Share’ on another forum](https://forum.glasswire.com/users/remah/notifications). Clearing all twenty notifications was a painful task. Maybe I should have left the notifications uncleared but once I had started I decided to finish. I also noticed that the only notifications that I have never cleared were all badge notifications - they’re all cleared now.

I don’t disagree with the other stuff you wrote, but how so?
1. “View older notifications..”
2. Dismiss All

😳 My mistake. I totally missed that button.
Sorry for wasting your time. 😭
Thanks for the matter of fact and tactful response. 😌

Well, maybe dismiss all notifications should be easier to find, perhaps.

Agree. Also the positioning “hides” it as I wasn’t expecting an action at the end of a menu of selection criteria.

The ‘Dismiss All’ button works much better on mobile because it is now isolated from the selection list.
