If you do not see this option

• Categories? Some apps list types of notification. Chrome had none yet on ours: it said the app has not yet sent any notifications. Source: Control notifications on Android
• Older OxygenOS? OnePlus's OxygenOS 14 manual reaches it from App info, Manage notifications. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual

If this does not work

• Still getting them? Check Allow notifications is off on the app's page.
• Want them back? Turn the switch on again.
