In our daily lives, notifications play a crucial role in keeping us informed about what's happening in our virtual environment. It's essential to manage them efficiently to ensure they are visible without being overwhelming. In this context, there's a small but significant setting we can change on the iPhone that substantially transforms how we interact with these alerts, without missing any.
A significant change in the display of the most important notifications
By default, notifications on our iPhone are grouped by application. This means that, instead of a sea of individual alerts, we see compact groups representing all the notifications from Messages, Reminders, or Calendar, to cite a few examples. Although this system undoubtedly facilitates a more orderly view, it can also cause us to overlook some alerts, especially when they come from messaging apps, where each notification is important.
For those applications we consider essential, changing the setting to display each notification independently can make a big difference. We can do it like this:
- Open the Settings app on our iPhone.
- Tap the application we're interested in, for example, Messages.
- Tap on Group Notifications.
- Select No.
A simple change, but one that significantly improves the visibility of important notifications, allowing us to instantly grasp the content of each message without even needing to interact with our iPhone.
Adapting how our iPhone manages notifications can greatly change our daily efficiency. An easier way to keep an eye on certain important applications that, with a single adjustment, will be clearly displayed on the home screen and in the notification center—which we can disable with the iPhone locked— of our phone.
