Change message notifications on Apple Vision Pro

You can manage the message notifications you receive.

Manage notifications for messages

You can change the notification style for Messages, and assign different sounds to specific contacts. See Change notification settings and device sounds on Apple Vision Pro.

You can also mute notifications for a specific message.

Go to the Messages app on your Apple Vision Pro.
Swipe left on a conversation in the Messages list, then tap Hide Alerts.

Set a Focus to manage notifications

Focus is a feature that helps you concentrate on a task by minimizing distractions. When you need to focus, or step away from your Apple Vision Pro, Focus can temporarily silence all notifications—or allow only specific notifications (for example, ones that match your task).

When you turn on a Focus, Messages lets apps and people know you’re busy. If something is urgent, people can choose to notify you anyway.

See Turn a Focus on or off.
