Chrome can be helpful at times as they keep you updated with important information or alerts. However, constant notifications can also be distracting and annoying. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the barrage of notifications on your mobile , here’s a guide on how to Chrome notifications:
1. Open Chrome Settings: Start by opening the Chrome app on your mobile phone and tap on the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner to access the menu. From the drop-down menu, select “Settings.”
2. Notifications: Scroll down the settings menu and locate the “Notifications” option. It is usually found under the “Advanced” or “Site Settings” section.
3. Manage Notifications: Tap on the “Notifications” option to access the notification settings.
4. Block All Notifications: To disable all Chrome notifications on your mobile phone, toggle off the switch labeled “Sites can ask to send notifications.” This will prevent any websites from sending you notifications.
5. Managing Specific Websites: If you only want to disable notifications from specific websites, scroll down to the “Blocked” section in the Chrome notification settings. Tap on “Add site” and enter the URL of the website you want to notifications from. This will prevent notifications from that particular website, while still allowing notifications from others.
6. Customizing Notification Settings: Chrome also allows you to customize notification settings for individual websites. To do this, tap on the “Notifications” option and scroll down to the “Allow” section. Find the website for which you want to modify notification settings, tap on it, and customize the desired notification behavior. You can choose to block or allow notifications, enable or disable sound, and determine whether the notifications should appear silently or not.
7. Enabling Quiet Notifications: If you want to receive notifications but without the sound, Chrome offers a feature called “Quiet Notifications.” Under the “Allow” section mentioned earlier, you can tap on a website and choose to allow “Quiet notifications.” This ensures that notifications from that website appear silently in your notification shade.
8. Blocking Native Chrome Notifications: In addition to website notifications, Chrome also provides its own native notifications for important updates. If you wish to disable these as well, go back to the Chrome settings menu and navigate to the “Site Settings” or “Advanced” section. Look for the “Notifications” option again and toggle off the switch labeled “Show notifications.” This will prevent Chrome from displaying native notifications on your mobile phone.
9. Checking Chrome Notification Permissions: To verify which websites have notification permissions or to make additional modifications, you can access the Chrome notification permissions directly. Open Chrome and type “://settings/content/notifications” in the address bar. This will take you directly to a list of websites with notification permissions. From here, you can individually manage notification permissions as desired.
By following these steps, you can regain control over your Chrome notifications and create a more peaceful mobile browsing experience. Remember that by deactivating notifications, you might miss out on some important updates, so ensure you choose only to disable notifications from websites that tend to be intrusive or unnecessary.
