iPhone provides the option to Turn OFF Notifications from any app that is bothering you with constant notifications and also change the type of notifications appearing on your device.
Turn OFF Notifications on iPhone
In general, most users prefer receiving new message Notifications on their iPhone and consider Notifications from Messages, WhatsApp and other Messaging Apps as being useful.
However, there could be many non-essential Apps on your device, constantly flashing Notifications on the Lock Screen of your device and crowding up the Notification Center with unwanted Notifications.
Hence, we are providing below the steps to Disable App Notifications on the Lock Screen, Control Center and also the steps to Turn OFF Flash, Banner and Sound Notifications from Apps on iPhone.
1. Turn OFF Notifications from Any App on iPhone
All that is required to Disable Notifications from any App on iPhone is to go to Notifications Settings and move the slider next to the App to OFF position.
