To stop receiving message notifications on your phone, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Messages app on your device. This app is usually represented by a speech bubble icon.
2. Tap on the “More” option, which is typically represented by three vertical dots or lines. This will open a drop-down menu with additional settings.
3. Scroll down and select “Settings” from the drop-down menu. This will take you to the settings page for the Messages app.
To stop notifications from other apps:
1. On the Messages settings page, locate and tap on the “Notifications” option. This will open the notification settings for the app.
2. Look for an option that says “Default settings” or similar wording, and tap on it.
3. On the next screen, you will find a list of different types of notifications that can be enabled or disabled. To turn off all default notifications, simply toggle the switch to the off position. This will prevent the app from sending any notifications.
To ensure you receive notifications specifically for incoming messages:
1. On the Messages notification settings page, look for an option called “Incoming messages” or something similar.
2. Toggle the switch next to this option to the on position. This will enable notifications for incoming messages from the Messages app.
By following these steps, you can customize your message notification settings to your preference. You can choose to turn off notifications from other apps while still receiving notifications specifically for incoming messages on your phone.
Remember that the exact steps and wording may vary slightly depending on your device and the version of the Messages app you are using.
