How to prevent notifications from turning on your iPhone screen

Contents

Tired of notifications waking up your iPhone or iPad and making your screen light up? When using do not disturb mode or changing notification settings, can stay in the dark. That's how.

Quick solution: active el modo “Do not bother”

Apple incluye una función que puede silenciar rápidamente cualquier iPhone o iPad llamada “Do not bother”. While active, Do not disturb mutes incoming calls, messages and notifications by default, but this may vary depending on how you have configured it.

To enable Do Not Disturb mode quickly, first, launch Control Center on your iPhone or iPad and then tap the Do Not Disturb button (that looks like a crescent moon).

In the iPhone Control Center, tap the do not disturb button, that looks like a crescent moon.

Alternatively, you can start Settings, play “Do not bother” y tocar el interruptor junto a “Do not bother” to activate it.

With Do Not Disturb enabled and your iPhone or iPad locked, incoming messages and notifications will not wake up your device screen. To deactivate Do not disturb, relaunch Control Center and tap the Do Not Disturb button until it is no longer highlighted.

The deepest answer: disable notifications on lock screen

If you don't want to use Do Not Disturb mode to prevent your iPhone or iPad from turning on when you receive notifications (if you still want all incoming phone calls to be received, as an example), you will have to dig into your device notification settings.

The good news is that Apple makes it possible for you to disable lock screen notifications for any app. The bad news is that at the moment there is no way to edit the notification settings in all applications at the same time., so you will need to individually disable lock screen notifications for each app that is activating your device.

To do it, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.

In Settings, Touch “Notifications”.

In iPhone or iPad settings, touches

In Notifications, scroll through the list and tap the name of the app you want to prevent from waking up the screen. In this circumstance, we are using Messages as an example, but I could do it for Facebook Messenger, Signal, Twitter, FaceTime or any other application.

In Notifications, touches

In the application's notification settings, Touch “Lock screen” to uncheck it.

In the notification settings of an application, uncheck "Lock screen.""

Thereafter, go back one screen and repeat this procedure for any other app you want to mute on the lock screen.

When it's over, Exit Settings and you will no longer see notifications from those apps on the lock screen. Due, notifications from those apps will no longer wake up your iPhone screen. Peace at last!
