How to Turn Off Snapchat Notifications – The Easiest Way

Are you tired of constantly getting notifications from Snapchat? As someone who spends a lot of time on my phone, being interrupted by notifications can be really distracting.

In this article, I’ll teach you the easiest way possible for turning off snapchat notifications.

Understanding Snapchat Notification Settings

Understanding notification settings can be confusing for many users. That’s why it’s crucial to get familiar with these settings to take full advantage of Snapchat.

The first thing you should know is that there are two types of notifications on Snapchat: push notifications and in-app notifications.

Push notifications are sent directly to your phone’s home screen whenever someone sends you a snap or when there’s an event related to your account.

In-app notifications appear within the app itself as red dots next to various icons, indicating new messages or stories from friends.

To customize these notification settings, head over to your profile page by tapping on your Bitmoji icon at the top left corner of the screen and then selecting “Settings.”

From here, scroll down until you see “Notifications,” where you’ll find all options related to Snapchat alerts.

You can toggle individual notification categories on/off depending on what you want – such as “New Snap,” “Friend requests,” etc.

In conclusion, customizing Snapchat Notification Settings is necessary if you want a smooth experience while using this popular app.

It not only saves time but also keeps unnecessary distraction away from important tasks at hand. Make sure that every alert you receive aligns with your preferences.

How to Turn Off Snapchat Notifications

Here’s how to turn off Snapchat notifications:

  1. Unlock your device and open the Snapchat app.
  2. Once you’re in the app, tap on your Bitmoji or profile icon located in the top-left corner of the screen to access your profile page.
  3. On the profile page, tap on the gear icon in the top-right corner to go to Settings.
  4. In the Settings menu, scroll down to the “WHO CAN…” section.
  5. Tap on “Notifications”.
  6. Here, you will see multiple options related to notifications. You can either: a. Toggle off “Enable Notifications” to turn off all notifications for Snapchat. b. Adjust individual notification settings. For instance, you can toggle off “Received Snap”, “Story from Friend” or any other specific notification type if you only want to silence certain notifications.
  7. Once you’ve made your desired changes, simply exit the settings. Changes will be saved automatically.

Additionally, if you want to control Snapchat notifications at the device level, follow these steps:

For Android:

  1. Open Settings on your device.
  2. Navigate to Apps & notifications or Application Manager (this may vary based on your device and Android version).
  3. Locate and tap on Snapchat from the list of apps.
  4. Tap on Notifications.
  5. Toggle off the switch to disable all notifications or adjust individual settings to customize which notifications you receive.

For iOS:

  1. Open Settings on your device.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Snapchat.
  3. Tap on Notifications.
  4. Toggle off the switch for Allow Notifications to disable all notifications or adjust other settings to customize which notifications you receive.

Remember, if you turn off notifications, you won’t be alerted to new snaps or messages until you open the app. Adjust the settings to best fit your preferences and needs.
