How to Turn Off Snapchat Notifications (Fast Fix)

 

Snapchat notifications can get loud, fast. One second you're checking a snap, the next your phone's buzzing every five minutes. If you're tired of it and want to turn off Snapchat notifications for good, you're in the right place. Below is the fastest way to shut them down completely — inside the app, on your phone's system settings, and even for specific chats or stories. Pick the method that fits you and get it done in under two minutes.

How to Turn Off Snapchat Notifications (Every Method)

Turn Off Notifications Inside the Snapchat App (Recommended)

This is the easiest and most reliable way to stop Snapchat notifications, since it controls things directly at the source.

Profile Icon>Settings>Notifications> Turn Off

• Open the Snapchat app
• Tap your profile icon in the top-left
• Tap the gear icon to open Settings
• Scroll to "Notifications"
• Uncheck the alerts you want to turn off

Done. This method works across both iPhone and Android since it's built into the app itself.

Turn Off Snapchat Notifications Using Phone Settings

If you'd rather kill all notifications at the system level, your phone settings can do that too.

For iPhone Users

Phone Settings>Notifications>Snapchat>Turn off Notifications

• Go to Settings
• Tap Notifications
• Select Snapchat
• Toggle off Allow Notifications

For Android Users

Phone Settings>Apps> Snapchat>Notifications>Turn Off

• Go to Settings
• Tap Apps
• Select Snapchat
• Tap Notifications
• Toggle off All Snapchat Notifications

This is a good option if you want a full, no-exceptions block on Snapchat alerts.

How to Manage Specific Snapchat Notifications

Sometimes you don't want to turn off everything — just the annoying parts. Here's how to fine-tune it.

• Stories: Go to Settings > Notifications > Manage Story Notifications to stop alerts from specific users
• Individual Chats: Long-press a friend's name in your chat list, tap "Chat and Notification Settings," then mute or customize that person
• Creator Content: Toggle off "From creators you've added" inside the Notifications menu
• Apple Watch: Turn off "Mirror iPhone Alerts" in the Watch app to stop Snapchat buzzing your wrist

Related Questions People Also Ask

How do I stop Snapchat from showing random notifications?

Random alerts usually come from Stories or added creators. Turn off "From creators you've added" and manage Story notifications individually to cut down on the noise.

How do I turn off all notifications at once?

Use the phone system settings method above — toggling off "Allow Notifications" (iPhone) or "All Snapchat Notifications" (Android) kills everything in one move.

Can I mute just one person on Snapchat instead of turning off all notifications?

Yes. Long-press their name in your chat list and adjust their notification settings without touching the rest of the app.
