Turn Off Notifications Using Do Not Disturb Mode
The easiest way to silence your notifications is to turn on Do Not Disturb mode from the Control Center. Swipe down from the top-right of your screen. Then, select Focus > Do Not Disturb.
On older iPhones, go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and toggle on Do Not Disturb mode.
Scheduling Do Not Disturb Mode Using Focus
If you want to schedule Do Not Disturb mode for a specific time, you can do that too using Focus.
To start, launch the Settings app on your iPhone. In Settings, select Focus > Do Not Disturb.
Here, you can set which notifications you allow (if any) and choose a custom Home or Lock screen to use in Do Not Disturb mode.
Then, under Set a Schedule, tap “Add Schedule” to set when you’d like to enable Do Not Disturb mode. For example, you choose to silence notifications between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
Silence App-Specific Notifications on an iPhone
If you’d like to disable notifications for a specific app, you can manage the notification settings for each app on your iPhone.
To do so, open Settings on your device. Then, tap “Notifications.”
On the “Notifications” page, in the “Notification Style” section, tap the app for which you want to disable notifications.
On the app page, at the top, toggle off the “Allow Notifications” option.
And that’s it. Your iPhone won’t send you notifications from your chosen app.
