Change notification settings on iPad
In Settings , choose which apps can send notifications, change the alert sound, set up location-based alerts, allow government alerts, and more.
Change notification settings
Most notification settings can be customized for each app. You can turn app notifications on or off, have notifications play a sound, choose how and where you want app notifications to appear when your device is unlocked, and more.
Go to Settings
> Notifications.
To schedule a notification summary, tap Scheduled Summary, then turn on Scheduled Summary. (See schedule a notification summary.)
To choose when you want most notification previews to appear, tap Show Previews, select an option—Always, When Unlocked, or Never—then tap
at the top left.
Previews can include things like text (from Messages and Mail) and invitation details (from Calendar). You can override this setting for individual apps.
Tap an app below Notification Style, then turn Allow Notifications on or off.
If you turn on Allow Notifications, choose when you want the notifications delivered—immediately or in the scheduled notification summary—and turn Time Sensitive Notifications on or off.
For many apps, you can also set a notification banner style and turn sounds and badges on or off.
Tap Notification Grouping, then choose how you want the notifications grouped:
Automatic: The notifications from the app are grouped according to organizing criteria within the app, such as by topic or thread.
By App: All the notifications from the app are grouped together.
Off: Turn off grouping.
To turn off notifications selectively for apps, go to Settings > Notifications > Siri Suggestions, then turn off any app.
When you use Focus, it delays the delivery of notifications on iPad to prevent interruptions. You can schedule a time to receive a summary of the notifications you missed. See Schedule a notification summary.
Set up or turn off location-based alerts
Some apps use your location to send you relevant alerts based on where you are. For example, you might get a reminder to call someone when you get to a specific place or when you leave for your next location.
If you don’t want to see these types of alerts, you can turn them off.
Go to Settings
> Privacy & Security > Location Services.
Turn on Location Services.
Tap an app (if any appear in the list), then choose whether you want to share your location while using that app.
See the Apple Support article About privacy and Location Services.
Receive Web Push notifications from web apps
You can receive standard Web Push notifications from a web app when you add its website icon to your Home Screen. Web Push notifications can keep you informed of activity in the app. After you subscribe for push notifications within the web app, the app can send you notification alerts and badges similar to the ones you get from other apps on your iPad.
