Safari for Mac: Manage website notifications using Safari

Manage website notifications using Safari

If you let websites send you notifications, each notification appears in the top-right corner of your screen. You get notifications from websites even if they’re not open—and even if Safari isn’t open. If you’re away from your Mac, you can see all the notifications you missed when you get back.

Respond to a notification from a website: Click the notification to go to the site.

See all of your recent notifications: Click the Notification Center icon at the right end of the menu bar, or swipe left with two fingers from the right edge of your trackpad, then click Notifications.

Stop receiving notifications from a website: Choose Safari > Preferences, click Notifications, find the website in the list, then select Deny for it.

Change how website notifications appear: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Notifications, select the website on the left, then change the notification alert style and other settings on the right.

Stop seeing notification permission requests in Safari: Choose Safari > Preferences, click Notifications, then deselect “Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications.” From now on, when you visit a website that can send you notifications, Safari doesn’t ask if you want to let the website notify you.
