How to Snooze Notifications on Android
Discover how to hit the pause button on distracting alerts without missing what's important later.
There are just too many notifications constantly going off, from emails, WhatsApp messages, Slack, and so on. Turning on "Do Not Disturb" is a great option to end the noise, but it silences everything so that you could miss an urgent message from your boss or a delivery notification.
But what if you could just tell a specific notification to go low for a few hours so you can focus on other things, and remind you later of its needs? That's exactly what snoozing notifications on Android lets you do. It perfectly fixes the interruptions without completely keeping you in the dark.
Unlike muting an entire app, snoozing is incredibly precise. It lets you temporarily hide a single, distracting alert and have it pop back up later when you're actually ready to deal with it. In this guide, we'll show you how to use this powerful but often overlooked feature on almost any Android device.
