Access & Customize Your Notification Settings
On your iPhone, open the Settings app and select Notifications.
Previews, Suggestions & Alerts
Show Previews:
At the top, you’ll see an option for Show Previews. This gives you a preview of your notification of whether your iPhone is locked or unlocked. Pick from Always, When Unlocked, or Never.
Sisi Suggestions:
Next, you’ll see Siri Suggestions. If you tap this option, you can choose which apps on your device can suggest Shortcuts on the lock screen.
Before we look at the notification options for your apps, scroll to the bottom. There you can enable or disable notifications for Amber, Emergency, and Public Safety Alerts.
App notifications
Now that you’ve taken care of the basics for your notifications. It’s time to work on those you receive for apps.
Each app can have its own unique notifications settings. This is great because you may not want alerts for things like games. And for apps you do want notifications for, you may want them customized a certain way.
Select an app from the list and then adjust the following options:
Allow Notifications: Turn on the toggle to receive notifications for that app.
Alerts: Choose to receive notifications on your lock screen, in your Notification Center, or as banners. You can pick any or all of these options.
Banner Style: If you choose to show alerts as banners above, you’ll see an option for the Banner Style appear. Temporary banners only display for a short time and then disappear while Persistent banners remain on the screen until you acknowledge them.
Sounds and Badges: Turn the toggles on if you want a sound and a badge icon when the app has a notification.
Show Previews: Decide if you want previews for the specific app and if you want them Always, When Unlocked, or Never.
Notification Grouping: Decide if you want notifications grouped automatically, by the app, or not at all.
Conclusion:
After making changes to your notifications, you may decide later that you’d like to make more adjustments. And this is easy to do as you can see. When you download a new app to your iPhone, make sure to pop back into your Notification settings so that you receive the type of alerts you want for that app.
