Sound & notification
You can change the sound and notification settings on your device by
going to Settings> Device > Sound & notification.
Notifications alert you to the arrival of new messages, calendar events,
and alarms, as well as ongoing events, such as downloads:
• Interruptions. Prioritize sound notifications so they don’t interrupt
you. Touch the settings to turn phone call and message interruptions
on or off. If you turn Messages notifications on, touch Calls/messages
from to specify from whom you accept notifications (Anyone, Starred
contacts or Contacts Only). In Downtime, select which days and
times you allow for sound notifications.
• When device is locked. Manage whether notifications can be seen
when your phone is locked, and whether sensitive content in a
notification can be seen. Sensitive content includes things like the
title of a song you downloaded, who sent you an email, or the details
of a calendar event. For more information, visit the Help Center.
• App Notifications. Modify the notification settings individually for
apps such as Gmail. The setting under When device is locked will
always take precedence over the setting for an individual app.
• Notification access. See which apps can access your notifications.
When a notification arrives, its icon appears at the top of the screen.
Icons for pending notifications appear on the left, and system icons
showing things like the Wi-Fi signal, mobile carrier signal, or battery
strength are on the right:
