Did you want to get alerts for that app or text? You can change an app's settings to deliver notifications silently, but you may decide that you want those notifications to make a noise and appear on your Lock screen. Fortunately, turning off Deliver Quietly is very easy to do and this wikiHow article shows you step-by-step how to turn off the deliver quietly setting on an iPhone.
Steps
Turnining Deliver Quietly Off in Notification Center
-
1Open the Notification Center. From the Lock screen, swipe up from the middle. If you're on any other screen, swipe down from the top center of your phone.[1]
- This will only work if there is a notification from the app or Message in your Notification Center. If not, use Settings.
-
2Swipe left on your notification. It should slide to show you a few options: Manage, View, and Clear All.
-
3Tap Manage. A menu will slide up from the bottom of your screen.
-
4Tap Deliver Prominently. You will now get notifications that make noise, appear on the Lock screen, and display banners and badges.[2]
Turning Deliver Quietly Off in Settings
-
1Open Settings. To do this, tap the app icon that looks like a gear on a light grey background.
- You'll need to go through Settings if you don't have a notification in Notification Center from the app or Message app that you want to turn off Deliver Quietly for.
-
2Tap Notifications. This option is usually in the third grouping of menu options next to an icon of a badge on an app.
-
3Tap the app that you want to turn off Deliver Quietly for. This can be Messages or any other app like Facebook.
-
4Enable sounds, badges, Lock screen, and banners. So the notifications for that app appear on your Lock screen as well as banners when you're using your phone, tap Lock Screen and Banners to select them. Next, tap Sounds and select an alert tone. Finally, return to the previous page and tap the toggle next to "Badges" to switch it on (it'll be green).
- You will now get notifications that make noise, appear on the Lock screen, and display banners and badges.
