Customize Notifications for Android Apps

 

Adjust Notifications From Android Settings

For the first method, swipe down from the top of the screen (once or twice, depending on your device) and tap the gear icon to go to the Settings.

Next, select “Apps & Notifications” or simply “Notifications.”

Tap “See All [Number] Apps” or “App Settings.”

Find the app that you would like to customize notifications and select it.

Now, select “Notifications.” Android 12+ devices don’t require this step.

At the top, you’ll see the option to turn all notifications on or off, but underneath is where you’ll see all the notification channels. Toggle on or off any of the channels you’d like.

To take it a step further, you can customize how these notifications are presented. Tap the notification channel name.

Here, you can decide whether you want notifications from this channel to ring or vibrate your phone, be silent, or pop up on the screen.

Take Action From a Notification

What if a notification appears and you want to prevent more in the future? The second method allows you to take immediate action on a notification. Tap and hold the notification until a menu appears.

Now, select “Turn Off Notifications.” This will not turn off all notifications.

A menu will slide up with the corresponding notification channel highlighted. You can simply toggle it off.

Tap “Done” when you’re finished.

Now you will only get notifications for things you actually care about.
