How to customize grouped notifications on ios 12

Among the many novelties that iOS 12 brings us to our iPhone and iPad devices, the grouped notifications feature stands out for its usefulness, a highly anticipated and claimed function that groups all the ordered notifications of a single application in a single “box”, thus avoiding the lock screen is too crowded, and facilitating the consultation of those notifications that may interest you the most at any time.

Customize grouped notifications

By default, all applications come with the grouped notifications option set to their “Automatic” mode; This mode groups the notifications by application, but it does it intelligently. For example, if you have multiple iMessage conversations with different people, notifications are grouped by app (Messages) but also separated by person.

But you can also adjust the settings for grouped notifications to disable them entirely or to sort all incoming notifications by app, regardless of whether the notifications are coming from different people or not.

• Open the Settings application on your iPhone or iPad. Select "Notifications" from the main list of options. Search the list for the application whose notifications you want to modify, for example Messages, and select it. Scroll to the grouped notifications section and tap on It. "Automatic" mode is enabled by default. Select "By Application" or "Disabled" to change it.

As mentioned above, by selecting “By app” instead of “Automatic”, you make sure that all incoming notifications from a specific app are grouped together rather than intelligently separated.

Selecting the "Disabled" option will completely disable the notification pool for the selected app, which means that incoming notifications for that app will come individually, just as they already did before the arrival of iOS 12.

And as I'm sure you're already wondering, I'll give you the answer: no, there is no option to disable grouped notifications for all applications at the same time, so it is something that must be done application by application.
