If you do not see this option

• Same on other Xiaomi phones? Xiaomi gives the same route and the same two styles, Classic and Android, for the REDMI 13C and the Xiaomi 14T. Source: How to manage notification shade style on the REDMI 13C? · Source: How to manage notification shade style on the Xiaomi 14T?
• Expected a page called Notification style? On ours the row is Notification style, but the page it opens is titled Notification shade.

If this does not work

• Want to see when a notification came in? Pick Android. On ours only the Android style showed times, like 45m and 3h; Classic showed none.
• Control centre opens instead? Swipe from the top left for notifications. Xiaomi says swiping down from the top right opens Control centre. Source: How to manage notification shade style on the Xiaomi 14T? · Source: Does the REDMI Note 14 Pro+ 5G support Reading mode?
• Too many notifications in the shade? Xiaomi says to swipe a notification right or left to clear it, or tap the X icon at the bottom to clear them all. Ours had the X at the bottom in both styles.

About this guide

The notification shade is the list you pull down from the top left of the screen. Xiaomi offers two looks for it.

The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode. Ours was set to Android. We switched to Classic for the pictures, then back to Android. The news notification in the shade pictures is blurred.

In short: Settings, Notifications & status bar, Notification style: Classic (grouped, no times) or Android (app name, time, arrows).
