View and respond to notifications on iPod touch
Notifications help you keep track of what’s new—they let you know if you missed a call, if the date of an event moved, and more. You can customize your notification settings so you see only what’s important to you.
Note: While you’re using an app, you might be asked how you want to receive notifications from it—immediately, not at all, or in a scheduled summary. You can change this choice later in Settings > Notifications.
Find your notifications in Notification Center
To see your notifications in Notification Center, do any of the following:
On the Lock Screen: Swipe up from the middle of the screen.
On other screens: Swipe down from the top center. Then you can scroll up to see older notifications, if there are any.
To close Notification Center, swipe up from the bottom with one finger or press the Home button.
Respond to notifications
When you have multiple notifications in Notification Center or on the Lock Screen, they’re grouped by app, which makes them easier to view and manage. Notifications from some apps may also be grouped by organizing features within the app, such as by topic or thread. Grouped notifications appear as small stacks, with the most recent notification on top.
Do any of the following:
To expand a group of notifications to see them individually: Tap the group. To close the group, tap Show Less.
To view a notification: Swipe it left, then tap View.
To open a notification’s app: Tap the notification, then tap Open.
Schedule a notification summary
You can reduce distractions in your day by scheduling your notifications to be delivered as a summary—you choose which notifications to include in the summary and what time you want to receive it.
The notification summary is personalized to you and intelligently ordered by priority, based on your current activity, with the most relevant notifications at the top. The summary is especially useful because it allows you to engage with notifications on your own time. You can take this even further by using Focus to filter notifications while you focus on an activity.
Go to Settings > Notifications > Scheduled Summary, then turn on Scheduled Summary.
Select the apps to include in your summary.
Set a time for your summary. If you want to receive another summary, tap Add Summary.
Tap A to Z below Apps in Summary, then make sure the apps you want to include in your summary are turned on.
View, dismiss, clear, and mute notifications
When notifications appear on your iPod touch, do any of the following:
Handle a notification you receive while using another app: Pull it down to view it, then swipe up to dismiss it.
Clear notifications: Swipe left on a notification or group of notifications, then tap Clear or Clear All.
Mute notifications for an app: Swipe left on the notification or group of notifications, tap Options, then tap an option to mute the app’s notifications for an hour or a day. This sends them directly to Notification Center and prevents them from appearing on the Lock Screen, playing a sound, lighting up the screen, or presenting a banner.
To see and hear these notifications again, swipe left on the notification in Notification Center, tap Options, then tap Unmute.
Turn off notifications for an app or notification group: Swipe left on a notification or group of notifications, tap Options, then tap Turn Off.
Change how an app displays notifications: Swipe left on a notification, tap Options, then tap View Settings. See Change notification settings to learn about the settings you can change.
Clear all your notifications in Notification Center: Go to Notification Center, tap , then tap Clear.
Silence all notifications: Turn on Do Not Disturb. See Turn a Focus on or off on iPod touch.
When you haven’t used an app for a while, Siri suggests that you turn off notifications for that app.
Show recent notifications on the Lock Screen
You can allow recent notifications to appear on the Lock Screen.
Go to Settings > Notifications > Show Previews.
Tap Always.
