Make a selection
We can easily change the importance of the alerts in the phone Settings menu > entering Applications. Once inside we will have to click on those applications that we consider most important and on those that we want prioritize notifications.
To do this, when we are inside this section, we can decide which apps will be the ones that we want to show the message or warning that we have received. we should only go into each application > Notifications > and activate or deactivate the different boxes that we see inside.
More than anything, because each tool will have different alerts, so we will have to choose what we want to be shown and what not to be able to order the smartphone notifications according to the importance we want to give them.
Instead, as of Android 12 You must enter the Settings > Notifications section differently to be able to select the applications that can show you the alert you have received in them. Although, keep in mind that if you uncheck its option, you will not be able to see what has arrived if you do not enter the app.
do not disturb mode
It was from Android 5.0 that Google introduced the Do Not Disturb option. Is another one method of managing notifications, as it silences the sounds and vibrations of all alerts. These will continue to appear in the system UI as normal, unless we manually block them.
Do not disturb mode can be activated from the settings menu. Settings by going to the sound menu > Advanced. In this case, we must set which people, applications and alarms can interrupt us at all times.
So we must enter each section within this Android setting to configure it as we please. Once all those contacts, apps and others are within the exceptions, we may continue to receive notifications from you. On the other hand, if we have not configured it, nobody will be able to bother us while we have this mode enabled.
for your conversations
It is clear that it is not the same to continue receiving alerts from YouTube than from WhatsApp, for that reason it is important to give priority or not to our conversations, especially from that person with whom we do not stop writing. For this reason, we can give it more priority from our Android phone.
To achieve this, you just have to wait for a message from that chat to arrive, press and hold that notification to access a screen where the Priority function will appear. By marking this conversation as a priority, they will be able to see not only the message but also the profile picture on the lock screen.
Personalize them
We have seen all the settings with which we will give higher or lower priority to all applications of our mobile. But, now is the time to give all the apps that we want to always be visible an extra extra.
To do this, we must choose not only how they are going to be displayed, but also in which parts of the smartphone we will see them. We will even tell you how you can choose which tools will be with sound, vibration or completely silent. In this way, you will recognize each of the notifications that arrive on your mobile.
Where and how do you want them to be seen?
Another aspect with which we can give greater importance or not to an application is the fact of where we want its notifications to be displayed. In Android we have different settings with which we can decide, for example, if we want them to appear on the lock screen or if we prefer that their alerts are not even in the status bar.
To do this, you have to follow a series of steps: Open the phone settings and go to the Applications > Notifications section. Click on the option on the lock screen. Finally, choose the option you want. In general, three will appear: Show them, hide it and that nothing is seen.
Although, if we enter each application, it will be easier to organize the notifications of our phone, since it will be easier to select which apps will be able to show us what we are receiving.
In addition, you will be able to choose if you want that chat, mail, etc., to be shown as a notification bubble. But, for this, we must have them activated from the previous section.
vibration and sound
We must not forget that in order to give greater importance to one software than another, we will also have within our reach the simple step of remove sound or vibration and that it does not emit any type of noise.
In this case, we must go to Settings> Applications> see more apps> access the one you want> Notifications> click on the options that are accompanied by the bell icon. Within this section, you can choose to have a default tone, if you want it to vibrate or if you prefer it to be silent all the time.
In addition, within this same section, you can decide if you want change app ringtone of your mobile. This will make it much easier to recognize if it is an important message or if it is simply a notification that does not interest you at all.
