How do I get emails to pop up on my lock screen?

Answered by Tom Adger

To get emails to pop up on your lock screen, you’ll need to adjust your phone’s notification settings. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Unlock your phone and go to the Settings app. It usually looks like a gear icon.

2. Scroll down and look for the “Notifications” option. It might be located under the “Sound & notification” or “Device” section, depending on your phone’s make and model.

3. Tap on “Notifications” to access the notification settings.

4. On the notification settings screen, you’ll find various options related to how notifications appear on your lock screen. Look for the option that says “Lock screen notifications” or similar.

5. Tap on the “Lock screen notifications” option to customize it.

6. You’ll likely have different choices for lock screen notifications. Look for the option that allows you to show both alerting and silent notifications on the lock screen. This will ensure that your emails, whether they make a sound or not, will be displayed on your lock screen.

7. Once you’ve selected the appropriate option, exit the settings app.

Now, whenever you receive an email, it should pop up on your lock screen, allowing you to quickly see who it’s from and take action if needed. Remember that this process may vary slightly depending on your phone’s operating system and version, but the general steps should be similar.

I hope this helps you get your emails to show up on your lock screen! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
