The Time Sensitive feature rolled in years ago for iOS devices, filtering out the notifications to prioritize the ones it deems more important. Due to this, Snapchat‘s Time Sensitive notifications often receive permission to break through the restricted and blocked settings of Apple iPhones, iPads, and iMacs.
- These Time Sensitive notifications may pop up and remain on the lock screens for an hour. It is also compatible with several apps, including Snapchat and can cause a disturbance during an important meeting, presentation, or Zoom class.
- The feature is especially bothersome as it doesn’t allow its users to select what is Time Sensitive for them. The apps are provided the reins to estimate what the users consider important through their activity, which often overlaps with their settings.
As for Snapchat, users receive notifications for each new message from the users’ best friends list. If these notifications are becoming trouble for your privacy or bothering you during your device is on Silent, Do Not Disturb, and Focus Mode, then follow the simple steps below to turn off the Time Sensitive notifications.
