Anyone who owns an iPhone or iPad is familiar with notifications and how annoying they can be. However, Apple provides a unique location called “Notification Center” where you can view and manage your device’s notifications.
On iPhone and iPad, Notification Center is a central interface for controlling notifications on device that have been received from apps or from the operating system. To view Notification Center while your iPhone or iPad is unlocked, swipe down from the center of the top edge of the screen. You should be careful not to swipe down from the top right edge of the screen, however, as on iPads and modern iPhones without a Home button, this gesture opens Control Center. However, as of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, you can also swipe down from the top left edge of your screen.
To see Notification Center on the Lock screen, swipe up from the middle of the screen until it appears. You can turn Notification Center on the Lock screen on or off by going to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode or Face ID & Passcode.
You'll then see a special screen called "Notification Center" that displays your recent notifications. If an app has sent more than one notification, the notifications may be stacked together. Tap the stack to see all notifications.
In Notification Center, you can swipe right on a specific notification to open it in the original app. If you swipe left quickly, you can dismiss that notification. Alternatively, if you want to dismiss all notifications at once, tap the small “X” next to the “Notification Center” , then tap “Clear.
You can also turn off some notifications from this screen by slowly swiping your finger to the left on a notification bubble and tapping “Manage” in the options that appear.
If notifications are bothering you, you can turn them off on a per-app basis by going to Settings – Go to Settings > Notifications , then tap an app you want to manage. There, you can choose the type of notifications you want to receive or turn them off completely.
