Step by step

1. 

   Open App notifications

   Open Settings, tap Notifications, then App notifications. It opens on a Most recent filter, which showed only 5 apps on ours: Google, Google Play Store, Messages, Google Play services and My Pixel.

   Done

2. 

   Pick All apps

   Tap Most recent. The choices are Most recent, Most frequent, All apps and Turned off. Tap All apps to list every app.

   Done

3. 

   Turn off the app's switch

   All apps lists the apps from A to Z, each with a switch on the right. Turn an app's switch off to stop all its notifications. Chrome was in the list on ours, with its switch already off; Calendar's and Camera's were on.

   Done

4. 

   Or open the app's page

   Tap the app's name instead. Chrome's page had All Chrome notifications at the top, off, and the note You haven't allowed notifications from this app.

   Done

5. 

   Pick Turned off

   Back on App notifications, tap the filter again and pick Turned off, the last choice.

   Done

6. 

   Check the Turned off list

   It lists every app whose notifications are off. Ours started with Android System WebView, Calculator, Chrome, Contacts and Device configuration. Turn an app's switch on here to get its notifications back.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• App not in the list? Most recent only lists apps that sent notifications lately: ours showed just 5. Google says to pick All apps in the dropdown to find more. Source: Control notifications on Android
• Filter called Recently sent? That is Google's name for it; ours reads Most recent. Google says that if you don't see it at all, you are on an older Android version: tap App notifications, then the app. Source: Control notifications on Android
• Other Android phone? Google says settings can vary by phone. For a Xiaomi, see our guide on how to turn off notifications for an app on a Xiaomi phone. Source: Control notifications on Android

If this does not work

• Now you miss alerts you wanted? Pick Turned off in the filter, turn the app back on, then see Pixel not getting notifications: 6 settings to check. Source: Control notifications on your Pixel phone
• Still getting some alerts from it? Google says many apps also control notifications from a settings menu inside the app. Check the app's own settings, and check it shows under Turned off. Source: Control notifications on Android
• Website pop-ups in Chrome? Those are set in Chrome: how to stop website notifications in Chrome on Android.

About this guide

One app sending too many alerts? You can silence just that app and keep the rest.

The screenshots are from our Google Pixel 10a with Android 17 (build CP3A.261005.005), in Dark mode. Chrome's notifications were already off. We switched between the filters and changed nothing else.

Good to know

Google says you can also touch and hold a notification and turn the app's notifications off there.

In short: Settings, Notifications, App notifications, filter All apps, turn off the app's switch. Turned off lists the apps you switched off.
