Alerts and Notification Center<br />

Alerts<br />

Alerts let you know about important events. They can appear briefly at the top of the screen, or<br />

remain in the center of the screen until you acknowledge them.<br />

Some apps may include a badge on their Home screen icon, to let you know how many new<br />

items await—for example, the number of new email messages. If there’s a problem—such as a<br />

message that couldn’t be sent—an exclamation mark appears on the badge. On a folder, a<br />

numbered badge indicates the total number of notifications for all the apps inside.<br />

Alerts can also appear on the Lock screen.<br />

Respond to an alert when <strong>iPhone</strong> is locked. Swipe the alert from left to right.<br />

Silence your alerts. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.<br />

Set sounds and vibrations. Go to Settings > Sounds.<br />

Notification Center<br />

Notification Center collects your notifications in one place, so you can review them whenever<br />

you’re ready. Review all your alerts, or just the ones you missed. Or tap the Today tab for a<br />

summary of the day’s events—such as the weather forecast, traffic conditions for your commute<br />

(<strong>iPhone</strong> 4s or later), appointments, birthdays, stock quotes, and even a quick summary of what’s<br />

coming up tomorrow.<br />

Open Notification Center. Swipe down from the top edge of the screen.<br />

Set notification options. Go to Settings > Notification Center. Tap an app to set its notification<br />

options. You can also tap Edit to arrange the order of app notifications. Touch , then drag it to<br />

a new position.<br />

Note: To include traffic conditions for your commute (<strong>iPhone</strong> 4s or later) in the Today tab, make<br />

sure Frequent Locations is turned on in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services ><br />

Frequent Locations.<br />

Get government alerts. In some areas, you can turn on alerts in the Government Alerts list. Go to<br />

Settings > Notification Center.<br />
