It’s not unusual to receive a multitude of notifications on our mobile phones throughout the day. Between instant messaging apps and social media, hundreds of messages accumulate.
In this regard, a native feature on iPhones is the Notification Summary , which allows you to better manage how notifications are received. With it, notifications from apps chosen by the user can be grouped and filtered so that the device can then display a summary of them at a specific time.
If you want to know how to configure this option, just follow these simple steps.
Here’s how to enable Notification Summary on iPhone
The Notification Summary filters notifications and then provides the user with a summary of those received during the specified period.
This is a very useful feature because it doesn’t hide relevant notifications like direct messages, but it does allow us to have greater control over what we receive. In fact, the summary is customized for each user and prioritized based on app usage. This means the apps you use most will appear at the top.
Activating it is very easy. Follow these steps:
-Go to your iPhone Settings.
-Click on Notifications.
-Tap Scheduled Summary.
-Swipe to activate the option on the next screen. Click Continue.
-Now, tap the apps whose notifications you want to include in the summary. For example: Instagram and LinkedIn.
-Next, choose one or more times you want the device to send you a notification summary. If you want to add more summaries, just tap Add summary and add the ones you want.
-Finally, click on Activate notification summary and you’re done.
Supported devices
To use this option, you’ll need iOS 15 or higher, as well as at least iPadOS 15, as it’s available for both iPhone and iPad.
It’s not compatible with Macs or Apple Watches. However, since smartwatches are typically connected to mobile phones, enabling the feature on the iPhone would indirectly affect the watch.
