How to Stop Notifications from Specific Apps on iPhone

iPhone notifications can be both a blessing and a curse. While they help you stay connected and informed, too many can be overwhelming. If you want to stop notifications from specific apps, you can do so through the Settings app. Here’s how to find and manage these settings:

Step-by-Step Guide to Stopping App Notifications

Begin by opening the Settings app on your iPhone. You can typically find this app on your home screen, but you might need to swipe up from the bottom to find it in the app drawer if you have widgets added to your home screen.

Scroll down and tap on Notifications. This section contains all the options for managing your device's notifications.

Find and tap on the app for which you want to adjust the notification settings. The list will populate with all the installed apps on your device.

Next, you can turn off Allow Notifications. To do so, toggle the switch next to the app to the off position. This will completely disable notifications from that app. Alternatively, you can customize the settings by adjusting options such as Sounds, Badges, and Banners.

If you need to adjust notifications for more apps, you can repeat the process for each app by selecting it from the list and toggling the Allow Notifications switch.

Once you've made these changes, you should no longer receive notifications from the selected apps. This method is straightforward and ensures that your iPhone remains a distraction-free zone when you need it to be.

Additional Notification Management Options

On your iPhone, you can also manage notifications through other means. For example, you can swipe left over an alert or group of alerts and tap Manage. From here, you can choose between two options:

These notifications will appear in the Notification Center without showing up on the Lock screen, playing sounds, or displaying a banner or badge icon.

This option turns off all notifications for a specific app, ensuring you don't receive any alerts from that app.

Accessing Notification Settings in Detail

You can also access the Notifications settings directly from the main Settings menu. If you tap on Notifications, you will see a list of all apps with their current settings. For each app, you can choose to turn off notifications or customize them to your liking.

If you follow these steps, you can easily manage the notifications on your iPhone and ensure that your device remains a tool that helps you, not one that overwhelms you. Whether you want to completely disable notifications or just mute them during certain hours, the options are flexible and customizable.
