Do that and everything else just vanishes from the screen:Īnd that’s it. I saw a lot of people online have this same issue when purchasing this phone as well as updating to IOS 12 for some reason. I can make adjustments in sound and haptics but there is no change in alert and notifications volume. To fix this, tap on the Pokémon Go entry.Ī ha! This is where everything’s happening, so you can opt to allow notifications on a limited basis, or you can just cancel everything by tapping on the green slider adjacent to “Allow Notifications”.

Swipe down to find the game in question - Pokemon Go - and you can see what notifications it’s allowed to present to you: Notice that some have notifications turned off (like Alexa and Allrecipies), others have a subset of notifications enabled (App Store) and still others have the whole shebang, badges, sounds and banners (Activity, Amazon Music, Apple Store and Arlo).

The end result is that as the games try to entice players to re-engage and relaunch, they pop up notifications about all sorts of weird, random game events and happenings. So what do the vast majority of kids do? Tap “Allow”. I know exactly what you’re talking about because my daughter adds various games and apps to my own iPhone 7 and most of these games immediately ask the player to enable notifications before they can even start playing.
