There isn’t an iPhone feature that fully hides notifications. Instead, iOS offers several controls that let you manage how, when, and where notifications appear.
Notification Management Options
• Scheduled Summary
Choose Off or set a custom schedule to receive non‑urgent notifications at specific times.
• Show Previews
Control how much information appears on the Lock Screen:
- Always
- When Locked
- Never
• Screen Sharing
Decide whether notifications appear while sharing your screen:
- Allow Notifications (Enable/Disable)
Siri Notification Options
• Announce Notifications
Turn on/off globally.
• Announce When Connected To:
- Headphones
- CarPlay
- Announce Messages
- New Messages
- Silence New Messages

App‑Specific Controls
Each app can individually enable or disable:
- Announce Notifications
Time‑Sensitive Notifications
Many apps—such as Calendar, FaceTime, Google Maps, Health, and Apple Maps—support Time‑Sensitive Notifications (Enable/Disable).
- These notifications are delivered immediately.
- They stay on the Lock Screen for up to one hour, even if other notifications are silenced.
Focus Modes
Focus settings significantly influence how notifications behave. Depending on the Focus mode, notifications may be:
- Silenced
- Allowed for specific apps or people
- Delivered immediately if marked time‑sensitive
