About Course

Beeps, buzzes and banners from apps can be useful – a message from family, a reminder to take medicine – or a constant distraction. This course explains what notifications are, how to see and clear them, how to turn off the ones you do not want, and how to stop private information, such as security codes, showing on your locked screen.

This course gives general guidance. Menus vary between phone models and software versions. Tutwoo is not connected with Apple or Google.
