Hello Alan, Wow! That is fabulous!
I am so happy for you. I will pass your solution on to others and, hopefully, this will resolve their Clear All Section problem, as well. Now that I think about it, the phone I referenced in my previous post in this thread, did, indeed, have the font size set higher than 35%. I will have my friend reduce the font size and see what happens. Another suggestion I was going to make, before reading your wonderful post, was to make sure that the reduce motion switch was set to On.

At some point, probably with iOS 7, I had changed my text size to 36% of normal. I still have some vision so used that slider switch in the display settings to make the words larger than their default size. I've never quite figured out why those slider switches in iOS give strange percentages which seem to be multiples of 9 as opposed to multiples of 5 or 10 but it is what it is. Today, when I reset my text size to normal with no percentage increase, the confirm button to complete notification section clearance appeared after tapping the first clear notification button. After experimenting, I confirmed that it continued to appear as long as I set my fonts to 27% or smaller. Now I can clear my notification sections. I realized a long time ago when playing with Windows and font sizes and magnification tweaking that you never knew what impact this might have on how a screen was presented in a program. As they do more and more with the screen settings on our iDevices, I guess these sort of hiccups are to be expected.

However, as I posted a while back, I have come across many iPhone fives and sixes upon which they do not work. A friend of mine, using an iPhone 5 S, who lost this functionality upon upgrading his device from iOS 7 to 8, was able to regain the button functionality by first backing up his phone to iTunes, then, setting it up as a new device, then finally, restoring from the iTunes backup he'd just made. I relayed this technique to another friend of mine who experienced this same issue on his new 6 and he, too, was able to get the buttons working by using the technique described above. As for me, the absolute first thing I did upon bringing my new 6 Plus home, was to perform a Restore from my 5 S using iTunes. Just as an F Y I, I was helping another friend update her 6 Plus to 8.2, tonight and, upon successful completion of the update to 8.2, I attempted to use the Clear All section buttons. They did not work. I asked her if she'd ever performed a Restore from iTunes and she told me that she had not.

I don't know what you mean by normal but the buttons to clear sectional notifications in this area haven't worked for me since iOS 8 came out. If they're working for you, I'd love to know what the trick is to get them to do so.

Under Facetime, the auto call forwarding switch/feature was turned on. After updating, when my phone rang, my Mac rang, as well. I found this very annoying. 2. I am happy to report that the Direct Touch Typing feature continues to function normally. 3. Also, the Clear All Section buttons, in the Notification area, continue to function normally.
