Why Tech Pros Suggest Turning Off Your Notifications
If you're a social butterfly who loves being up to date on social media, posting a lot, and constantly checking out the messages and notifications you get on all your apps, then there's a good chance your iPhone is often flooded with pop-up notifications. You could also be a hard worker who receives lots of emails or co-worker chats throughout the day, which can also entail many notifications coming through your phone each day.
Although getting notifications is a normal part of having an iPhone, if you feel like your device is beginning to struggle with its battery and not holding a charge long enough, you might want to go into your settings and turn them off for things that aren't super important.
"Go to Settings > Notifications, and scroll to the bottom to see each individual app's settings," instructs tech expert and tutor Laura Moynihan. "Turn off as many as you can entirely by tapping the 'Allow Notifications' toggle to off."
When you think about it, all the notifications you get cause your iPhone to turn back on and open its full display on your lockscreen, making it work a little harder several times throughout the day. Moynihan notes this is one of the many reasons why turning off the unimportant ones can make a big difference.
"For others, consider badge notifications only, which are a nice but passive way to display a notification with a red dot and a number inside, indicating the number of notifications that are unread," she continues. "All of these reduce the battery load, and reduce the number of interruptions in your day, including falling victim to 'Notification Blindness,' where your brain automatically ignores notifications because you get too many in your day."
