Alerts and Notication Center
Alerts
Alerts let you know about important events. They can appear briey at the top of the screen, or
remain in the center of the screen until you acknowledge them.
Some apps may include a badge on their Home screen icon, to let you know how many new
items await—for example, the number of new email messages. If there’s a problem—such as a
message that couldn’t be sent—an exclamation mark appears on the badge. On a folder, a
numbered badge indicates the total number of notications for all the apps inside.
Alerts can also appear on the Lock screen.
Respond to an alert without leaving your current app. Pull down on the alert when it appears
at the top of your screen.
Note: This feature works with text and email messages, calendar invitations, and more.
Respond to an alert when iPod touch is locked. Swipe the alert from right to left.
Silence your alerts. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb. You can also use Siri to turn Do Not Disturb
on or o. Say “Turn on Do Not Disturb” or “Turn o Do Not Disturb.”
Set sounds. Go to Settings > Sounds.
Notication Center
Notication Center collects your notications in one place, so you can review them whenever
you’re ready. View details about your day—such as the weather forecast, appointments,
birthdays, stock quotes, and even a quick summary of what’s coming up tomorrow. Tap the
Notications tab to review all your alerts.
