Notifications are one of the most useful tools on any smartphone, taking into account the importance of being informed about work, academic or personal events. The notification of an important email about a job that must be delivered, the message of the loved one on WhatsApp or the photo in which they were tagged on Facebook will always be well received.
However, there are some notifications that can also be more private so you probably don’t want anyone to observe them. For this reason, it is necessary to configure the cell phone in order to prevent them from appearing on the phone’s locked screen. You never know who can grab it and review relevant information without having to unlock the phone.
Thinking about this, Infobae brings a guide to hide notifications on your cell phone, in this case an iPhone.
To begin with, one of the options that exist to cancel notifications on the lock screen is precisely from that view. However, it can only be done for a specific application, that is, if you mute Instagram notifications this will not silence WhatsApp notifications as well. However, it is still a good option.
1. Choose the notification you want to silence and slide it to the left.
2. Some options will be displayed; choose ‘Manage‘.
3. Finally tap on “Deliver silently”, and ready!
“Silent notifications appear in the Notification Center, but do not appear on the lock screen, do not play a sound, present a banner or identify the application icon,” is the message that Apple displays when this option is selected.
The second option that exists is to silence notifications from the general settings of the cell phone. From there it is possible to quickly take the applications that you want to hide on the lock screen.
To configure the option from the menu you just have to follow the following steps:
1. Open the app Setting on your iPhone.
2. Locate the option Notifications and tap on it.
3. A list with all the applications you have on your cell phone will appear. Choose the one to which you want to turn off notifications.
Four. Immediately a new screen will appear in which three pictures of a cell phone will appear, each one showing a screen in which notifications can be displayed. Disable the option “Screen lock” to prevent the app in question from sending notifications when the cell phone is locked.
As with the first option, this process must be done with each application for which you want to silence notifications, Although it is not a complicated procedure that will also save you from various embarrassments or anger with other people.
In addition, you can “disappear” whenever you want, because without notifications to review from the lock screen there will be no reason to remind you to be looking at your cell phone every five minutes. So you can relax on vacation and escape from your boss or co-workers at times when you shouldn’t be thinking about work obligations.
