Locus News in Status Bar

[eldron]

Hi,
I´ve just changed phones and have installed Locus (latest Version) on my new phone (Galaxy S23). I restored all settings from a Locus Backup.
This morning I received 3 notifications on my status bar from "Locus news", Locus was not running at the time.
In all my many years of using locus I never once received "Locus News" notifications.
I checked within the Locus Settings, but could not find a way to turn them off. I don´t want to block Locus notifications in general, as I do need them for track recordings etc.
But i definitely don´t want any locus news notifications.
So my question is - how do i turn them off?
The Locus icon also has a little "3", indicating that I have 3 messages, but when I open locus there are no messages anywhere.

The notification categories can be selected in the app notifications under App info. The news can also be switched off there.
Under Android 12: Settings -> Apps -> Locus Map -> Notifications -> Notification categories

Thanks for your reply.
I am on android 14 and I don't have a notification categories option there. I can only turn the notifications on or off, but I can't pick any categories.

On my Samsung Android 14 there is: "Settings/Notifications/Advanced Settings/Manage notification categories for each app".
Ensure that is enabled.

@alang
That was it. Turned it on and now I can select the categories.
Thanks a lot for the tip!
I think that it would be useful to be able to select the notification categories within locus though, like you can in most other apps.
