Disable Pop-up Notifications for Running Apps
Tips
- Disabling this option prevents pop-up notifications for running apps when notification filters are on and detect apps running in the background.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Accidentally disabling all notifications
Reason: Users might mistakenly disable all notifications for an app instead of just pop-up notifications, leading to missing important alerts.
Solution: Carefully select 'Pop-up notifications' only within the app's notification settings.
2. Ignoring the 'Advanced' settings
Reason: The pop-up notification settings might be nested within an 'Advanced' or similar menu, causing users to miss the crucial option.
Solution: Thoroughly explore all submenus within the app's notification settings to find the specific pop-up control.
FAQs
Will disabling pop-up notifications also stop notifications from appearing in my notification shade?
No. Disabling pop-up notifications only prevents the app notifications from appearing as an overlay on your screen. You'll still see them in your notification shade, where you can manage them.
What if I accidentally disable pop-ups for an important app? How can I re-enable them?
Simply go back into the app's notification settings (Settings > Notifications > select the app) and re-enable the 'Pop-up notifications' option. You can then customize the notification settings as needed.
Can I disable pop-up notifications for all apps at once?
While there isn't a single master switch, you can achieve a similar effect by individually disabling pop-ups for each app. Alternatively, you can explore using Focus Mode or Do Not Disturb to minimize overall interruptions, although this impacts more than just pop-up notifications.
