How To Turn Off Apple TV Notifications
Reading Time: 3 minutes This article explains how you can disable the Apple TV app notifications on your Apple TV, iOS Devices (iPhone, iPad) and Mac.
Some notifications are important that you may want to enable them. For example, if you turn off the Messages app notifications, you will not be notified when you receive text messages. This can be a big issue for many users because the notifications for incoming messages (text and iMessages) won’t be displayed.
However, you may want to turn off some notifications because they can be distracting and unnecessary. Turning them off on iPhone and iPad will also help you save battery life.
One of those types of apps is the TV app. You may want to turn its notifications off. Sometimes, the TV app may push notifications even if you do not use the app. You may be shown promotional advertisement notifications. Even if you use the app, a lot of these notifications may be about the content that you do not want to watch.
If you do not receive these notifications from the TV app, then this article is for you.
