  5. 5
    In the applications folder, we need to find the Play Games application
    .
    Mine is located here. We can see that there is an icon which looks like a green controller and underneath, it says "Play Games". Your Play Games application may be in a different position in this folder. Therefore, you will need to find it and press down on it to enter the application. What we want to do in this video tutorial is show you how to mute and unmute a game in this application. What this means is that if we mute a game, we will not receive any notifications from it. We don't want to turn Off notifications for all the games because then we may miss notifications that we need. This allows us to keep particular games silent so that we can continue receiving notifications from other games.
