Notification badges

Finding out how to clear the cache was not easy, and when I googled it (after searching my phone and Samsung forums), none of the instructions I found corresponded to the selections on my phone. I made the search specific--Samsung Galaxy S7 Android 7.0 Nougat OS. After accessing just about every possible location on my own, I eventually found what I needed under Storage, which showed 0 cache usage for both Facebook and Twitter. I've blocked notifications every way I know how and a few I discovered during this process. The blasted badges are still showing, and I'm done. I removed both apps from my home screen because the badges irritate me to no end. I don't know why they do,, but I swear, I may just uninstall both apps and only look at them on my laptop. Thanks so much for your efforts to help me! I really do appreciate it!

Trouble with Google Assistant

Welcome to Android Forums, kenyamsmith252!
Why would the Google Assistant show someone else Info
As @mikedt pointed out, this is a T-Mobile problem, not Google Assistant.

If I were you, I'd take my phone to the nearest T-Mobile store ASAP and show them what you're seeing.

You can try calling their customer service, but I'm willing to bet that would end up in a runaround where they're telling you it's an Android problem. Best thing would be to let them see it for themselves.

Just on a personal note, this would make me EXTREMELY uncomfortable. T-M has clearly screwed up big-time. The fact that you're seeing someone else's account info is a huge privacy breach--and who's seeing YOUR info? :o

Hotspot/tethering problem

I fixed it for anyone else that needs to know... attached link is a screenshot of someone else's android that had the same problem, look at what they entered into the APN type and try changing yours to that:
1.Settings
2.>Connections
3.>Mobile networks
4.>Access Point Names
5.>tap your access point name that is activated currently (mine was: "Vodafone Live!")
6.>scroll down to APN type and paste this: default,supl,agps,fota,dun,hipri

Stop more notifications from same app after one notification

Hi there, @garlor, and welcome to Android Forums! :)
very simple, I get a yourchoiceofapp notificacion, don't want another yourchoiceofapp notification for next x minutes

any way to do this?
I'm not making any guarantees, but Tasker may be able to do this.

Although I have Tasker, I've never actually used it. But a quick glance in it makes me think your issue may be doable with it.

I don't know of any built-in system method to do what you're after.

Hopefully, others will chime in with their ideas/knowledge.

Google activity

Welcome to Android Forums, Alyssarenfroe0211! :)
Why does my Google activity show Google play store, but when i click on it, it says item not found.
Can you be a little more specific? Generally, when you click on a Play Store link for an app that's no longer in the Play Store, you'll see that 'item not found' message. But your description doesn't match up with that.

Please tell us the exact steps you're taking; screenshots would help.
