Anyone with an iPhone or iPad is familiar with notifications and how awesome they can be. Thankfully, Apple provides one location where you can view and manage them called the Notification Center. Here’s how to see it.
On iPhone and iPad, Notification Center is a centralized interface for reviewing notifications on your device that you have received from apps or the operating system itself. To see the notification center when your iPhone or iPad is unlocked, swipe down from the center of the top edge of the screen.
Be careful not to swipe down from the top right edge of the screen. On modern iPads and iPhones without a home button, Gesture opens the control center. On iOS 8 14 and iPados 14 however, you can also swipe from the top left edge of the screen.
To view Notification Center on the lock screen, swipe up from the center of the screen until appears. (You can enable or disable Notification Center on lock screen in Settings & GT; Touch ID & passcode or Face ID & passcode.)
Once launched, you’ll see a special screen titled “Notification Center” that lists the latest notifications. If an app has sent more than one notification, the notifications may be stacked together. Tap the stack to see all expanded notifications.
In the notification center, you can swipe right on a specific notification to open it in the original app. If you quickly swipe left, you can clear the notification. Or if you want to clear all notifications at once, tap the little “X” button next to the “Notification Center” heading, then tap “Clear.”
You can also turn off certain notifications from this screen. Slowly swipe your finger left on the notification bubble and tap “manage” in the options that appear.
If notifications repeatedly get on your nerves, you can Disable them on a per-app basis in settings. Visit Settings & GT; Notifications, then tap the app you want to manage. There, you can choose the type of notifications you want to receive or turn them off completely. Good luck!
