How to Stop iPhone Notifications From Interrupting Your Music
1 min read
Summary
Using your iPhone to listen to music or podcasts can be annoying when notifications keep interrupting your listening experience.
You can stop notifications from disrupting your audio time by using different modes on your phone.
One simple way to do this is to use Silent Mode, which stops notification sounds but keeps your music going.
If you have an iPhone 14 or older, you can flip on the physical Ring/Silent switch to mute notifications.
For iPhone 15 or newer, activate Silent Mode by long pressing the Action Button or tweaking settings in Sounds & Haptics.
Another option is to enable the Do Not Disturb feature, which stops all calls, messages and notifications, and you can tailor this to your requirements.
You can also schedule it to turn on at certain times.
For a more personalised approach, try Focus Mode, which you can set up to work with specific apps.
You can also programme this to work with a Bluetooth device, such as your car stereo or headphones.
