Are you talking about the little X in the notification? Yes. That would be nice.

 

[HazyCloud]

Why have an 'X' when you can swipe it to make it go away immediately?

Hitting x is easier

 

[scorpius21]

Hitting x is easier

Nope.

This is new to me

 

[iDuel]

Hitting x is easier

Not really. Those with bigger fingers would have a harder time pressing that button. The swipe gesture is friendly to everyone.

wait what?

 

[Zmanbaseball2]

Not a major thing. Add it to iOS 6.1...

Since when?

 

[HazyCloud]

Since when?

Since we got Notifications. Just swipe it when it shows up and it'll disappear.

 

[tech4all]

Nope.

Nope you are incorrect.

I don't know, mine opens up the app, so it would be even more annoying.

 

[Hawtin]

When you say swipe to get rid of it, do you mean swipe down to notification centre then back up?

 

[northernbaldy]

Swipe up I guess
I'll try it next time a get a message

 

[Defender2010]

Swipe sideways....

 

[dinggus]

Swipe sideways....

That opens the app up, which is more annoying than just waiting for the notification to go away.

 

[m00min]

wait what?

Pull the notification down a few pixels and it will snap back up out of view faster than waiting for it to disappear.

Those with bigger fingers should have an easier time hitting the x..

 

[aDRock1154]

I think it looks worse.. Swiping up or away would be a better solution.

I think you can already swipe to dismiss it though

 

[Defender2010]

That opens the app up, which is more annoying than just waiting for the notification to go away.

no, not if you just swipe from right to left...

 

[brylliant]

Instead of the 'X', I think they should add swipe to right to dismiss it.
Currently, you swipe it down a bit and swipe it back up.

You can just swipe left, although they should allow you to swipe both ways. Swiping left feels a little awkward since I'm right handed

Oh, I didn't know about swiping left. I'm right handed too, and I see what you mean by the akwardness!

How?
