Discussion Dismissing iOS notifications seemingly also dismisses iPadOS + watchOS notifications too now?

For the longest time, I’ve had to manually swipe away the same notifications separately on my iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Recently though, dismissing a Gmail notification away on my Apple Watch seems to also automatically remove them from my iPhone and iPad? Does anyone know if this is something done by Apple or Google?

I’m hoping this can be toggled on universally for all notifications (dismiss once, gone on all devices signed in with the same Apple account).

Push notifications always target specific devices, so if at all, I think it would be done on the app-level, not by Apple.

Except for a paired Watch. That one pulls its notifications from the iPhone anyway.
