Though not all the notifications that I receive are urgent, I prefer to keep track of every single notification to remain in the loop. While the important alerts manage to get my attention immediately, others mostly tend to slip my mind.

Read on to learn how to enable/ disable Notification Summary in iOS 15 on your iPhone.

What is Notification Summary and How Does It Work?
Notification Summary is designed to let you keep a tab on non-urgent notifications in a hassle-free manner. When enabled, it “smartly compiles all the less important alerts and allows you to receive them in a pretty neat bundle at convenient times.”
Enable Notification Summary on iPhone
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.
Toggle the switch right next to “Scheduled Summary” to enable the feature.
Next, set a schedule for your notification summary. Do note that you can add multiple notification summaries. For instance, you can choose to receive a notification summary three times a day – morning, afternoon, and evening. To schedule a summary, tap on “Add Summary” and select the time when you want to see the summary.
Once you have customized the schedule as per your needs, make sure to tap on “Turn on Notification Summary” at the bottom.
iOS 15 offers you complete control over the apps you want to include the Notification Summary. So, you can choose to allow or disallow alerts from specific apps in the summary to ensure it doesn’t look cluttered. You can change them at any time, and here’s how it works:
You can always tweak the frequency of notification summaries based on your needs. If you simply want a single summary at the end of the day or before bed, follow the steps below:
- Now, tap on “Deliver Summary”.
If you ever want to stop receiving the bundle of less important notifications, you can turn off Notification Summary from the settings.
- Open Settings -> Notifications -> Scheduled Summary.
That’s all there is to it! So, that’s how you can enable and use Notification Summary in iOS 15 to keep an eye on the less important notifications with ease. The latest iteration of iOS comes with a plethora of all-new features. It includes the ability to watch movies together using FaceTime SharePlay, make a FaceTime call from iOS to Android, and blur background in FaceTime video calls, and more.
