If you are having issues with notifications of iMessage, maybe if they’re not getting delivered to your phone anywhere except the notification centre, then it means that you have turned on some wrong settings.

After the latest updates, iOS has made notification management a bit easy. Now, you can straightaway manage your notifications from the lock screen or the notification centre without even going to the settings app.

Not to mention Apple now also gives its users different options for receiving notifications instead of just turning a notification on or off. With the latest iOS version, the notifications can be prominent as well as quietly or you can also turn them off. The difference between the 2 new additions of the type of notifications is below.

The prominent notifications are the ones that you can get on the lock screen with haptics and sound. They will even appear on the app icons as well when you unlock the iPhone and you are on the home screen.

However, the notifications that are delivered on your iPhone quietly without making any sound or haptics will only appear on the notification centre. it won’t be shown on the lock screen and if you unlock the app icon’s notification badge will also be missing.

This way your notifications won’t disturb or interrupt you without even turning on DND, if needed you can always look for it in the notification centre and it will be there.

This whole system just eases users to manage notifications on iPhones. However, if you don’t set it up properly, you might end up with the wrong settings for the wrong app. This has been happening quite a lot with different people.

Sometimes, you might miss out on notifications that were needed and you might need to turn off the deliver quietly message option. So, here we have a quick tutorial on how you can turn off the ‘deliver quietly’ feature from iOS on iMessage.
