- If you want to clear the notification yourself, there are third-party apps like TidyPanel that can help.

There’s no word on what’s happening just yet, though at least a few users confirm it showed up after a recent update. It’s likely just a small bug that will eventually be resolved by T-Mobile, though we’ve reached out for comment and will update this piece if and when we learn more.
Bothered by its presence in the app drawer? A few users suggest the app TidyPanel for Android, as it is capable of clearing most stubborn notifications. The good news is that the T-Life app still seems to be working the same as usual, so it shouldn’t impact it’s actual performance.
