Do Not Disturb & Notications
Push notications appear in Notication Center and alert you to new information, even when the
associated app isn’t running. Notications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and
a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen.
Turn o all notications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. If it’s on and iPad is locked,
all notications are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the following options in
Settings > Notications > Do Not Disturb:
•Automatically turn on Do Not Disturb: Turn on Scheduled, then set the time when you don’t
want to be disturbed. iPad automatically turns on Do Not Disturb during this period.
•Allow some FaceTime calls during Do Not Disturb: When Do Not Disturb is on, FaceTime calls are
are silenced. To allow some callers to ring through, tap Allow Calls From. You can allow calls
from your Favorites list or other Contacts groups you dene. For information about Favorites,
see Chapter 14, Contacts, on page 68.
•Allow persistant callers to ring through: Turn on Repeated Calls. If the same caller (based on
their FaceTime ID) calls you twice within three minutes, iPad will ring.
Turn an app’s notications on or o: Go to Settings > Notications. Tap an item in the list, then
turn notications on or o for that item. Apps that have notications turned o appear in the Not
In Notication Center list.
Change how notications appear: Go to Settings > Notications. You can:
•Change the number of notications: Choose an item in the In Notication Center list. To set
how many notications of this type appear in Notication Center, tap Show.
•Change the alert styles: Choose an item in the In Notication Center list. Choose an
alert style, or select None to turn o alerts and banners. Notications will still appear in
Notication Center.
•Change the order of notications: Tap Edit. Drag the notications into the order you want. To
turn o a notication, drag it to the Not In Notication Center list.
•Display numbered badges on apps with notications: Choose an item in the In Notication
Center list and turn on Badge App Icon.
•Hide alerts from an app when iPad is locked: Choose the app in the In Notication Center list,

message previews in the notication, or whether to display iMessage notications only from
senders who are in Contacts.
