These can be social networks, instant messaging applications, emails, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-1-18423-1443.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-223442\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To identify them all we have to do is follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We open the Settings app on our iPhone or iPad.<\/li><li>Go to <em>Time of<\/em> <em>use<\/em>.<\/li><li>Tap on <em>View all activity<\/em>.<\/li><li>At the bottom, under &#8220;Notifications&#8221; we will find a count of those applications that are responsible for the most notifications.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disabling or configuring notifications for each application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From this same section, we can take action. For any application in the list that we see that abuses notifications, we can take several actions. Let&#8217;s start, in any case, by touching it to enter the options. Then here&#8217;s what we can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Turn off notifications completely<\/strong>: if we do not want to receive notifications from a particular application, we simply disable the &#8220;Allow notifications&#8221; option to stop them completely.<\/li><li><strong>Mute notifications<\/strong>: if we prefer to receive notifications, but do so without sound, we can go into <em>Sounds<\/em> and then select <em>None<\/em>.<\/li><li><strong>Modify how notifications appear<\/strong>: we can enable or disable the <em>Strips<\/em> appearing on the unlocked screen, and we can also enable or disable the notifications in question appearing on the <em>Locked Screen<\/em> or in the <em>Notification Center<\/em>.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid balloons on icons<\/strong>: if we want to avoid that a red number on the app icon draws our attention unnecessarily, we can disable the <em>Balloons<\/em> option.<\/li><li><strong>Configure notification announcement<\/strong>: the <em>Announce notifications feature<\/em> makes Siri read them aloud to us when we use headphones or are driving. A tap on this section allows us to disable <em>Announce notifications<\/em> to avoid this behavior.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Review general settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All the settings we have just seen are also available in general. That is, if we have now turned our attention to the applications that send us the most notifications, we can do the same with all of them. Just follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We open the <em>Settings<\/em> app on our iPhone or iPad.<\/li><li>Go to the <em>Notifications<\/em> section.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"356\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-3-18423-1443.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-223443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-3-18423-1443.jpg 356w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-3-18423-1443-148x300.jpg 148w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-3-18423-1443-6x12.jpg 6w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-3-18423-1443-150x303.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we have several options. In addition to entering any of them to modify the settings we mentioned in the previous section, it is also a good idea to disable notifications from those applications that, although they rarely send them to us, we do not need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configure notification summaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of notification summaries is that as different notifications come in, the system will see which app they come from and, depending on our settings, will either draw our attention to it or <strong>save the notification for us to see later<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/Imagen-2-18423-1443.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-223444\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Configuring these summaries of notifications is very simple and we can do it indistinctly on our iPhone or iPad. The steps to follow are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We open the <em>Settings<\/em> app on our iPhone or iPad.<\/li><li>Go to <em>Notifications<\/em>.<\/li><li>Tap on <em>Scheduled Summary<\/em>.<\/li><li>Activate <em>Scheduled Summary<\/em>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In Schedule is where, through Add summary, we can define how many we want to receive each day and also define the time we want them to arrive. Then, in the list of applications, we can mark the notifications of which apps will remain in these daily summaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use the &#8220;Do Not Disturb&#8221; mode for pauses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Do Not Disturb&#8221; mode is a function that silences all calls and notifications from our iPhone. To activate it we can go to the Control Center or directly tell Siri something like <strong>&#8220;Hey Siri, activate Do Not Disturb mode for a couple of hours&#8221;<\/strong> to have a pause in the notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 16\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/136f0b86-36a2-484c-98df-49fc90b365b6\/2187633187\/ios-16-iOS%2016-icon.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 16<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-16.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-16.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As we started by saying, notifications are really useful and a fundamental element to know what is happening in our virtual environment, but too many of them make the whole system lose sense.
