iPhone 16 Pro Alerts
🔔 How to Turn On Notifications on iPhone 16
Staying informed is easy with the iPhone 16’s advanced notification features, whether you're tracking messages, social media, or important updates. If you’ve just set up your device or want to make sure you’re not missing anything, here’s how to turn on and manage notifications:
📱 Step-by-Step: Turn On Notifications
-
Open Settings
Tap the Settings app from your Home Screen. -
Go to Notifications
Scroll down and select Notifications. This menu gives you control over alerts for every app installed on your device. -
Choose the App
Tap on the app you want to receive notifications from (e.g., Messages, Mail, WhatsApp). -
Allow Notifications
Toggle Allow Notifications to On (green). -
Customize Your Alerts
-
Alerts: Choose where you want notifications to appear — Lock Screen, Notification Centre, or Banners.
-
Sounds: Turn sound on or off for the app’s alerts.
-
Badges: Show or hide the red notification dot on the app icon.
-
Notification Grouping: Decide how notifications are bundled — automatically, by app, or not grouped at all.
-
📲 Pro Tip: Use Focus Modes
If you’re still missing alerts, check if Focus Mode is enabled. Go to Settings > Focus and make sure the app is allowed under the “Allowed Notifications” section for that mode.
🧠Why It Matters
Notifications on the iPhone 16 are powered by Apple Intelligence, meaning your phone can prioritize important alerts over distractions — but only if they’re turned on! Customising your alerts helps you stay productive, connected, and in control.
