Find your notifications
Apps send you notifications to let you know about new messages, calendar events, and alarms.
You can check your notifications from a few places:
•
They appear on your lock screen.
•
You see them when you swipe the status bar down on any screen.
If you get multiple notifications from an app, they'll be grouped together. You can swipe down to view more
details. Conversation notifications are grouped together at the top of your other notifications so you can
easily get back to them.
Some important notifications will pop up over your current app so you can take action. For example, if you
get a call while you're watching a video, a notification will appear so you can answer or ignore the call.
