If you’re like most people, you don’t want to be constantly inundated with notifications from your favorite apps. Unfortunately, disabling app notifications on a Mac is not as easy as it might seem. Here’s how to do it:
- Open System Preferences on your Mac and click on the “Notifications” tab.
- Under “App Notifications,” select the app or apps you want to disable notifications for and click the “Disable” button next to each one.
- You’ll now need to re-enable notifications for any apps that you previously disabled them for, by clicking the “Enable” button next to their respective names in the “App Notifications” tab of System Preferences. ..
Quickly Turn off App Notifications from the Notification Center
You can disable an app’s notification from the notification itself. This works when you see a notification banner or alert in the top-right corner of the screen.
When you see a notification, right-click it and choose the “Turn Off” option. Your Mac will instantly stop notifications from the app.
Alternatively, you can use the Notification Center to do this. Click the Date and Time from the menu bar to show the Notification Center. You can also swipe in from the right edge of the trackpad with two fingers.
Here, you’ll see notifications from installed apps. The notifications will be grouped based on apps.
Right-click a notification and choose the “Turn Off” option to disable the notifications for the app.
Enable App Notifications from System Preferences
If you change your mind, you can enable notifications for an app from System Preferences. Click the Apple icon from the menu bar and choose the “System Preferences” option.
Here, go to the “Notifications” section.
From the sidebar, choose the app for which you want to enable notifications. Then, click the toggle next to “Allow Notifications” to enable notifications for the app.
