Hey friends! I’m Tasia and this video will show you how to turn off app notifications
in iOS.
There are actually a couple of different ways to turn off or mute app notifications on iOS.
So let’s jump into all your options.
So, if you’re a light sleeper and you just want to know how to quickly turn off all notifications
and calls when you’re sleeping, I promise I will show you the quickest way ever to do
that, but you have to wait until the end of this video for that little nugget. So one
of the ways to turn off notifications is actually found in your notification center on iPhone
and there are two ways to get to your notification center.
From your lock screen, just swipe up from about ¾ of the way to the bottom. If your
phone is already unlocked, just swipe from the top of the screen down. Now here you can
quickly see all of your notifications grouped together per app and stacked on top of each
other. Tapping on a stack will expand all the recent notifications for that app. So,
to individually turn off app notifications from here, just swipe left on a notification.
From here, click ‘manage’. You’ll have the option to mute the notification or deliver
it quietly as they call it, or you can tap ‘turn off’ to turn off the notifications.
Then tap ‘turn off all notifications’ if you want all notifications off.
Now, this is a good time to mention, you don’t have to turn off all the notifications from
an app. You can pick and choose, what you want to be notified about. Those settings
are found within the app settings itself. So back to our example here, if you click
the configure option you will be brought to that app’s notifications settings and will
be able to pick and choose the specific notifications you want.
Now another quick tip before we move on from the notifications center, is that you can
quickly clear out all your notifications there by clicking on the ‘x’ to the right of
the notification center header, just above the stack of notifications.
So, as promised, there is another way to turn off app notifications in iOS and that’s
from your iPhone settings.
So in your settings app, head to notifications. Here, you’ll have an entire list of all
the apps you have installed, plus the notification style for each app, meaning you can quickly
tell what app has what notifications enabled. To turn off notifications, just tap on the
app. From here, you can customize the alerts or simply toggle off the option to ‘allow
notifications’ at the top of the screen.
Now there’s one more tip I have if you don’t want to go through each app individually and
turn off notifications. You can always use your iPhones Do Not Disturb function to mute
notifications for a specific time. So, let’s check that out by heading back to our settings
app. This time we’ll select Do Not Disturb. Right
at the top of the screen, you can toggle on the Do Not Disturb function. Or, just under
that, you can schedule a time for when you don’t want to receive any notifications.
And keep in mind this function will disable notifications and calls.
Lastly, as promised, if you want to turn off app notifications simply because they wake
you up when you’re sleeping, you don’t have to go to much trouble at all. In fact,
the bedtime feature takes care of that for you.
So, from your alarm app, just toggle on the Bedtime option. If you select bedtime at the
bottom of the screen and then tap options in the top left, you’ll have an option to
enable Do Not Disturb during bedtime.
There are some other cool features found in Bedtime, so I encourage you to play around
in there. And yes, whether or not you have Do Not Disturb or Bedtime enabled, you can
allow calls from certain numbers, should there be an emergency. If you want to know how to
do that, let me know in the comments below.
