Find your notifications
Apps send notifications to alert you about things like new messages, calendar events, and alarms.

You can check your notifications from a few places:

• They appear on your lock screen.
• You see them when you swipe the status bar down on any screen.

If you receive multiple notifications from an app, they're bundled together. Swipe down to view more details. Conversation notifications are bundled together at the top of your other notifications so you can easily return to them any time.
Some important notifications pop up briefly over your current app so that you can take action. For example, a notification for an incoming call might appear while you're watching a video, so that you can answer or dismiss the call.
If an app icon has a notification dot, you can touch & hold it to see the most recent notification:

When you receive unwanted notifications from an app, touch & hold the notification, then touch Turn off notifications .

To review all apps and adjust whether they can send notifications:

1. Swipe down to view your notifications.
2. At the bottom of the list, touch Manage
3. Touch App settings .
4. Do one of the following:
   • To stop all notifications from an app, turn it off
   • To stop certain notifications from an app, touch the app name, then turn notifications or off for each category.
   • To stop an app from showing notifications as a banner across the top of an unlocked screen, like those for incoming calls, touch the app name, then turn Pop on screen off for the category.
