View your iPhone notifications history

My notifications seem to disappear quickly. How can I see a whole day of notifications? Also, can I see notifications by app? I thought that was a feature and I can't find it anymore.

You can access Notification Center at any time on your iPhone or iPad by simply swiping down from the top of the screen.

  1. Place your finger over the top of the screen.
  2. Pull your finger down over the screen
  3. The above worked for me. First I tried going through settings and notifications, no dice. But swiping down while I was on the home screen brought back a notification that had flown by in a nanosecond. I then went into Settings, clicked on the app that had sent the notification, clicked on notifications and changed "temporary" to "permanent" so next time the message will stay until I close it. You have to go through Settings, not through the app itself. Hope this helps.

I’m going to try to restate the OP question in my own words.


It’s all about wanting to view and act upon notifications which have already been cleared, either by accident or whatnot.


In my case, I tapped on a notification from the Email app, and then the app for some reason failed to actually open that particular mail. Searching in the app has not found the mail.


So to me, if I could get that notification back, even though I cleared it, this may be a path to get to read that email.


There are other situations when I would have liked to see old notifications that were already cleared.


So that is the OP question as I understand it. None of the snarky answers (lookin’ at you, “bit bucket”) seem to have grasped the actual question.
