The ability to mute iPhone notifications for a specific interval makes it easier for users to focus and deal with an alert at a later time. Here’s how you can start using this feature.
On devices running iOS 15 or later it is possible for users to get rid of notifications from a specific app, person or chat group temporarily and have them delivered after an interval of time. This is useful for situations where something is important but you don’t want to deal with it in that moment.
Now you can simply mute any notification for one hour, whole day or send it to Notification Summary, where you can view it later at your own time.
In addition to muting an individual notification you can also mute notification groups and notifications from the same app. For iMessage you can mute notifications from a specific person.
