How do I turn off notifications from one app?

You do not have to silence the whole phone. You can usually turn off alerts for just the app that keeps interrupting you.

The short answer

Open the phone's notification settings, choose the app, and turn off notifications or change them to quiet delivery.

Try these first

1Decide whether you want no alerts or quieter alerts.
2Leave phone calls, messages, and emergency alerts alone.
3If an app is suspicious, uninstall it instead of only silencing it.
