How to change how notifications appear on the iOS/iPadOS Lock Screen

Notifications alert you to many things on your iPhone and iPad, including incoming messages, new emails, and calendar events. You can set up and/or change group notifications and settings. Here’s how:

1. Go to Settings and tap Notifications.
2. Select an app and tap Notification Grouping.
3. Select one of these options:
   • Automatic: The notifications from the app are grouped according to organizing criteria within the app, such as by topic or thread.
   • By App: All the notifications from the app are grouped together.
   • Off: Turn off grouping.

To turn off notifications for certain apps:

1. Go to Settings > Notifications, then tap Siri Suggestions.
2. Turn off any app.

To change how notifications appear on the Lock Screen of your device:

1. Go to Settings > Notifications and select an app.
2. Tap Show Previews and choose an option.
