HOW TO Control your notifications

2023-02-01 -

Choose display

Tap Settings > Notifications. At the top you’ll see three options: Count, Stack and List. Tap the one you want to use for notifications on the Lock Screen. Swipe up to exit Settings and return to the Home Screen.

View notifications

From the Home Screen, swipe down from the top left to see the Lock Screen. New notifications will be displayed according to what you specified in step one. Swipe up from near the bottom to see more.

Show more or less

To hide notifications, swipe down from near the top of the screen. To see all notifications from a specific app, tap on the front–most one and swipe up. Tap “Show less” to stack them again, or tap “X” to delete them.

Manage notifications

On the Lock Screen, swipe left over a notification and tap Options. Choose from the menu to turn off notifications for that app, mute them for a period or go to Settings to change more options.

Schedule summary

Instead of having all notifications appear when they are sent, you can choose to see a summary at a set time, to avoid being disturbed frequently. Tap Settings > Notifications > Scheduled Summary.

Add apps

Toggle Scheduled Summary to on. Read the information on the screen, then tap Continue. Tap the box next to the apps you want to include in the summary, then tap Show More. Tap all the apps to include, then Add Apps.

Set schedule

You’ll see two summaries with times against them. Tap the time to set it. To delete the second summary, tap “–” or to add a third summary, tap “+” and set a time for it. Tap Turn on Notification Summary.

Time–sensitive

By default, iOS ensures that time–sensitive notifications are delivered immediately, regardless of scheduling. To change that, go to Settings > Notifications, tap an app and toggle off Time–Sensitive Notifications.

Manage Focus

In Settings > Focus, tap a focus. Tap apps, then choose “–” next to an app to prevent it sending notifications while that focus is active. Or, tap “+” and select an app to add it to the allowed notifications for that focus.
