When I get a group of notifications and want to view each one individually I can’t. I’d like to view one clear it and view the next without actually going into the app.
 
When you say "I can't", what's actually happening? For instance, I had two notifications from the Ring app in my Notification Center. They are stacked. When I tap on the stack, it expands and shows each of the two notifications individually. So you're saying when you tap on a stack of notifications it just opens the app instead of expanding to show the individual notifications?

when I tap on the stack I can only see one notification. It doesn’t let me clear that single one to see the others.

After some testing I’ve found what you mean. If a notification you click on actually opens that app then you don’t return to the list of notifications.

if they don’t actually open the app and just expand it so you can read it - then you can clear that and move onto the next notifications.

I’ve found that with the ones that force open an app that s to delete that one. The swipe straight down from the notch to bring up your Los t of open notifications.

So you figured out how this works now?
what’s the method? Because I can view the first notification and not the ones “behind it” so to speak.
 
No updates on clearing a single notification from the Lock Screen when there are multiples??
 
if you mean the cross (x) that appears then no I think this has always been how its been, for several versions of iOS actually from memory. I am sad Apple haven't improved notifications as a whole, but the clearing of notifications is the worst issue.
 
I think that’s the issue when they come grouped together as they are unable to be separated to delete then one by one.
 
Then it must be a setting. I have notification grouping set to automatic. What’s yours set to?
 
Any other updates on this?
seems not many people are having this problem.
