“#How to Stop Android Notifications from Turning on the Screen”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"android<\/p>\n

Notifications are an important part of the Android experience, but they can be abused. Some app<\/a>s go out of their way to be noticed, which is very annoying. We\u2019ll help you wrangle up those Android notifications that turn on your screen and stop them.<\/p>\n

A typical Android notification will simply ring or vibrate your device. Enabling Do Not Disturb mode will silence these. However, some apps will actually turn on the display to really grab your attention. Not only can this drain your battery quicker, but it\u2019s also just kind of annoying and rude.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Android does not have a system-wide setting to prevent apps from doing this. Some devices allow you to make all apps wake the screen, but the option to do the opposite doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n

So, what are your options? Well, there are two things that you can do. First, go to the source of the problem and see whether the app has an option to disable waking the screen for notifications. This is going to vary greatly depending on the app.<\/p>\n

One example is Snapchat, a popular Android app that wakes the screen for notifications by default. You can disable this by tapping your profile icon > gear icon > Notifications > uncheck \u201cWake Screen\u201d from within the app.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have any luck with the app itself, you can make the notifications \u201csilent.\u201d The notification won\u2019t make any alert sounds or vibrations, but you\u2019ll still be able to see it when swiping down from the top of the screen. Most importantly, it won\u2019t wake your screen.<\/p>\n

First, swipe down from the top of your device\u2019s screen (once or twice, depending on your phone or tablet\u2019s manufacturer) and tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, select \u201cApps & Notifications.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

Tap \u201cSee All [Number] Apps\u201d for the full list of installed apps.<\/p>\n

\"Expand<\/p>\n

Find the offending app from the list.<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

Now, select \u201cNotifications.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to fiddle with fine settings, you can simply turn off all notifications with the toggle at the top.<\/p>\n

\"If<\/p>\n

But if you want more control, underneath it is the list of Notification Channels. Select the channel associated with the type of notification that you want to silence.<\/p>\n

\"Alternatively,<\/p>\n

Now, select the \u201cSilent\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

Once you select \u201cSilent,\u201d a new toggle will appear. You can choose to \u201cMinimize\u201d the notification as well, which means that it will be collapsed to one line at the bottom of your notifications.<\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

It would be great if there was a big universal switch to prevent all apps from waking the screen. But until that feature is added (if ever), you\u2019ll have to take matters into your own hands with these methods.<\/p>\n
