Opening/Closing the notication panel
Notications report the arrival of new messages, calendar events, and alarms,
as well as ongoing events, such as when you are playing music. You can
open the notication panel to view the details of notications.
• To open the notication panel, swipe your nger down from the top of
the screen.
• To close the notication panel, swipe your nger up from the bottom of the
screen or press the Back key.
Responding to or removing a notication
In the notication panel, you can respond to or remove notications. The
notication panel also supports expandable notications that let you perform
additional actions right from the notication itself.
• To respond to a notication, tap it.
• Slide down with one nger to expand certain notications. You can
also swipe two ngers vertically or pinch-zoom to expand or collapse
certain notications.
• To remove a notication, swipe it left or right.
• To remove all notications, tap CLEAR ALL at the end of the list of
notications.
• To manage notications, press and hold a notication and tap MORE
SETTINGS. You can then congure the notication settings of the app that
created it. The options may include the following:
– Block all: Hide future notications from the app.
– Show silently: Do not allow the app’s notications to make sound,
vibrate, or appear briey on screen.
– On the lock screen: Show, hide all, or hide sensitive contents of the app’s
notications on the lock screen.
– Override Do Not Disturb: Allow this app’s notications when Do not
disturb mode is on and set to Priority only.
Note: If you block notications for an app, you may miss its important alerts
and updates. The notications of some apps cannot be blocked.
