Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

In iOS 7, how do you clear the "Missed" section of the Notification Center?

The "Missed" seciton doesn't have the Clear button like the "Recent" seciton does, and I can't seem to get rid of the missed calls in that list. I even went as far as to erase all my missed and recent phone calls in the Phone list, but the notification center won't clear out.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7

Hello to everyone!


I have the same problem on my iPhone 5S. The bug is on the All tab. Normally the missed calls should be appeared also on the All tab and then you can erase it from there but on my phone this is not happen. I see the missed calls on the Missed tba but no on the All tab. I cheked on the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4 of my friends and when they had a missed call they can viewed also on the All tab and from there they can erased and also erase automatically from Missed tab...

The idea is for the Missed Calls listed in the "Missed" section of the Notification Center to go away once you already have seen it. This is not the same as the "Missed" calls in the Recent section under the Phone app. I'd say this is either intended or a bug. It goes away after 24 hrs though but it's annoying having to see it everytime you check (within 24 hrs).


Reboot seems to do the trick but this work around is a daunting task. I hope we get to see an official answer from Apple soon.

After some tests I find this:

1. If you have a missed call and your first move is to open the notification center you can see the missed call on the All tab and from the All tab you can erase it and then erase it automatically also from the Missed tab.


2. If you have a missed call and your first move is to unlock your iphone to see the missed call from the phone then the missed call is appear only on Missed tab on the notification center and you can't delete it! The only way is to reboot or to wait for 24 hours.


All this happens on my iphone 5S. On the iphone 4 and iphone 5 that I checked this issue it seems to work normally... In all cases the missed call appear also on the All tab on the notification center and you can delete it any time you want.

I have 5s and I too find the missed notifications current function a bit annoying. If I had it my way the missed notifications would be cleared the following ways.

1: You swipe to delete.

2: You replied to the call or text directly.

3. You called or texted the number or person indirectly.

No time limit as some people may want to keep certian ones like the keep old emails.


Having to wait 24 hrs or more after you have already responded is annoying. I have called back a few people several times only to get the response " I didnt call you today.."

In iOS 7, how do you clear the "Missed" section of the Notification Center?
