Managing notification settings for individual apps
Learn how to adjust notification settings for applications. You can have some applications notify you with a sound while others come in silently.
1.
From within the Settings app, scroll to and tap Notifications.

Scroll to and tap Messages.
For this tutorial, we're showing how to manage notifications for Messages. You can select a different option, but steps may vary based on which app you choose.
3.
From this screen, there are several settings that allow you to manage your notifications. Here's what each one does;
- Allow notifications - Turn this option off to completely disable all notifications from an app.
- Alerts - Lock Screen, Notification Center, and banner alerts can be enabled or disabled individually to control how your notifications appear.
- Banner Style - Choose whether banner alerts disappear automatically after a short time, or persist on-screen until you dismiss them.
- Sounds - Select a ringtone for your notifications from the list of on-device defaults, or search new sounds from the Tone Store. You can also change or disable the haptic vibration that accompanies your notification sounds.
- Badges - Turn this option on to have a badge appear on an app's icon that shows its total number of undismissed notifications.
- Show Previews - Select whether notification previews for this app appear on your Lock Screen, after unlocking, or never.
- Notification Grouping - Select whether to group this app's notifications by category/topic, group all notifications from the app into one, or turn grouping off for this app.
- Customize Notifications - Control specific notification settings that are unique to this app. This option will not appear for all apps.
