How to Take Control of Your Notifications

In iOS 13, the operating system for Apple devices, tap the button at the top of an app’s settings screen to allow or disable notifications. If you decide to keep the notification on, you can adjust where and how it appears on your device. If you don’t want a banner alert popping up on the lock screen, you can relegate it directly to the iOS Notifications Center area so you can browse all your updates at once later on.

Alerts from websites and apps are also part of desktop life — Windows 10, the Mac operating system and some Linux distributions all support them. To adjust how your computer generally handles notifications, dig into the system settings.

On a Windows 10 PC, open the Settings app and select System. On a Mac, open the System Preferences icon and look for Notifications controls. (Linux users should check their particular help guide.)

Most browsers have controls for managing notifications from specific websites. To adjust these alerts, go to the settings or preferences area for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari or the browser of your choice and look for the Notifications section.
