Push notifications are quite useful to keep in touch with certain apps on your phone. However, sometimes, it can get pretty overwhelming when these apps send multiple notifications that can be perceived as spam. It’s why you can disable push notifications on your iPhone if you choose to – to improve your overall experience.
If the problem is that you don’t want to be alerted when these notifications come in, but still want to see them nonetheless, a better option will be using the ‘Do Not Disturb’ or Focus mode to set this. So, while there will be no alert that a new notification has come in, you will see them in the notification center.
In this post, we’ll take you through how to disable push notifications on your iPhone. Read through.
