    The app's App info page (Settings, Apps, the app) has a Notifications row. Chrome's said No.

If you do not see this option

  • A switch you can't move? On our list the Security app's switch was pale. We did not try it, so we can't say whether it can be turned off.

  • No categories to pick from? Notification categories lets you turn off single kinds of alerts. Chrome showed This app hasn't received any notifications yet.

  • From the notification itself? Google's Android help says you can press and hold a notification, tap Settings and turn it off there. We did not try this on our Redmi. Source: Control notifications on Android

About this guide

You can silence one noisy app without turning off notifications for the whole phone.

The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode. We only opened these screens and changed nothing.

Good to know

Check what else the app can use: how to change app permissions.

In short: Settings, Notifications & status bar, App notifications, switch off next to the app.
