Fix notification problems

Each app has its own notification switch, plus separate control over the Lock Screen, banners, notification centre, sounds and badges.

Settings > Notifications > App name > Allow Notifications

Show Previews decides whether the content of a notification appears on a locked screen, only after you unlock, or never.

Settings > Notifications > Show Previews

A Focus is a named set of rules deciding who and what can reach you, and it can change your Home Screen and Lock Screen at the same time.

Settings > Focus

Badges are the red counters on app icons, and they can be turned off per app without losing notifications.

Settings > Notifications > App name > Badges

Notifications from apps you choose are held back and delivered together at times you set, instead of interrupting you all day.

Settings > Notifications > Scheduled Summary

Siri can read incoming notifications aloud through headphones, and optionally through CarPlay or the speaker.

Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications

An app can mark a notification as urgent, which lets it break through a Focus and skip the Scheduled Summary.

Settings > Notifications > App name > Time Sensitive Notifications

Notifications on the Lock Screen can be shown as a full list, grouped into a stack, or reduced to a single count.

Settings > Notifications > Display As

A small number of apps can be allowed to make sound even when the phone is silenced or in a Focus.

Settings > Notifications > App name > Critical Alerts
