Notifications

To help make sure you don’t miss important events, many iPad apps can provide alerts. An alert can appear briefly as a banner at the top of the screen, which goes away if you don’t respond to it, or as a notice in the center of the screen that remains until you acknowledge it. Some apps can also display badges on their icons on the Home screen, to let you know how many new items await—for example, how many new email messages you have. If there’s a problem—such as a message that couldn’t be sent—an exclamation mark appears on the badge. A numbered badge on a folder shows the total number of alerts for all the apps in the folder.

Alerts can also appear on the Lock screen.

Respond to an alert when iPad is locked: Swipe it from left to right.

Notification Center displays all your alerts in one place. So if you weren’t able to respond when you first received an alert, you can use Notification Center to respond when you’re ready. Alerts can include:
