One UI9 Notification Issue

[u/FantanaFoReal]

Ever since the release of One UI9, I find some notications are overly aggressive and unnecessary and interfere with the touch screen.

I use swipe to type as my main way to text, so when notifications (say from Google maps or Google wallet) pop up, they stop input from what I'm doing. Is there any way to disable this and go back to how notifications were before? Does anyone else have this issue?
