Manage Notifications on your iPhone 6.mp4-canvas6 01254.jpg

Steps

1
To start of, give a quick press down on Home at the bottom
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
2
It's going to open up your phone and you are just going to slide to unlock
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
3
Once you slide to unlock, you are going to be looking for a silver gear shape icon in a box
.
That's right here, give it a quick press.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
4
It can open up your Settings panel which will show you the Notifications section which is right here
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5
Tap on Notifications
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6
And, you have a view to Sort Manually or Sort By Time
.
Sort Manually shows everything here in particular order.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7
Sort By Time is going to show you what is used the most
.
Since this relatively new phone, at the moment, there is no difference between Manual and Time Sorting.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8
What I am looking for here is anything that is particularly annoying
.
And one of things that is particularly annoying is Inbox. I like it but I do not like the fact that I get a little pop across my screen every single time I get a message.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9
I could set up so that I get an actual Alert that even give me a little message but then that would really drive me crazy
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10
So what I am going to do is tap on None, I want to have nothing no nothing
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11
I could tap on Banners or go back to what I have before by tapping on Alert
.
I want None. I absolutely do not want lots of them.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12
Now if I did have reminder set, I could still turn off bit some pieces of it
:
Show in Notification Center, Sounds, Badge App Icon, Show on Lock Screen. These are all other options that allow me to change and modify things.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13
Allow Notifications - let's just turn the whole thing Off without worrying about the smaller things
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
I can tap the Show in Notification Center
.
Now it let's me know: No Reason Items, 1 Reason Item, 5 Reason Items, 10 Reason Items.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15
So if I want to find out exactly everything that I have or at least 10 things that I have
.
I can have that set up or I can have None set up. Honestly, I am fine with Notifications. I like being able to swipe down sometimes and get a quick eye of what I need but I do not like sounds. Normally, I keep my phone in vibrate because the sounds are a bit annoying to me - constant interruptions of hundreds of emails a day.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16
Badge Application Icon - I am fine with that
.
Really, I have stop seeing them for a while. I look at it and it says I have three hundred messages. I know that those three hundred messages - I do not really need to see.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17
Show on Lock Screen
.
I do not have a problem with this notification showing up on Lock Screen. However some people don't like that especially if it is an SMS Notification that shows up on Lock Screen.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
18
Let me show you a quick example of how that could be bad
.
Let's go back on Notifications.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
19
Let's find messages
.
Here we go - Messages.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
20
Show on Lock Screen
.
You got reminder set or heaven help you if you have Alerts set.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
21
Now let's say that you are on a date with a girl and you have message your friend that "Oh
!
She does not look very nice." Or let's say you are a girl you are on a date with a guy and you have message your friend and says "Oh! Looks like he has no a money." Both of those are bad things; they are not pleasant, they are not nice right ? After 10 or 20 minutes sitting down with your date, you might realize this is a really cool person and you are having a great time. You get up and or you are doing what ever or maybe you are sitting next to each other and the message pops on the screen with your friend saying, "Hi, you still sitting next to that troll?". Or rather your friend saying, "Hi,, you still in the poor house? Do you need me to rescue you?" And you just crash this wonderful person next to you because of your lack of awareness of Notification Settings on the iPhone 6. And the insensitivity that we humans tend to have for one another that can sometimes cause that to be a problem.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
22
This is how you correct that
.
No badge app icon, no notification sound, and for heaven's sake do not show it on notification screen, that's terrible.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
23
And now your SMS are safe
.
You are not going to have a problems from anyone. You are not going to scare anyone; you are not going to hurt any feelings; and probably do not know who message you until you open your message App. I do like to keep the badge app icon on just so I see, "Hi, I have got 3 messages, I wonder who are those from."
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
