How do I turn off push notifications for apps?

I made an appointment at the Genius Bar and they told me to go to Settings -> Notification Center and for each app set Alert Style to None. I have done this for every app except the few that I actually want notifications from. It's not working though, I am still receiving notifications from apps that haven't been used!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't make sense to me. If a restart is required for that setting to take effect, I would expect the phone to prompt for a restart after changing the setting. I would also expect that the Genius who told me about the setting to mention that it needs a restart. Then again, the Genius obviously didn't give me good information.
I'll try clearing my notifications and restarting anyway. It's worth a shot.

    How do I turn off push notifications when using words with friends on my iphone. It tells me to go thru itunes. Where do I do this??

    1. Provide your iOS version
    2. Define: "using words with friends."  Are you referring to text messages or a specific 3rd party app?  In any case, this is not controlled by iTunes.
    Settings > Notification Center > select app you're using (Messages??) > select what type of notifications you do and don't want.

  • Will apps still get updated automatically if I turn off push notifications for the App store?

    I like that my apps currently get updated automatically, but I don't really want to see it.  If I turn off all alerts/notifications for it, in Settings  > Notification Center, will the automatic updates still happen?

    To answer the question:  Yes, the App Store will continue auto-updating all apps, even if you turn off all notifications/alerts for the App Store, and move it down to the "DO NOT INCLUDE" section in Settings > Notification Center

  • I've turned off push notifications for certain apps but the push notices still appear. Any idea why?

    Hi there,
    Apologies if this has been asked before.
    My issue is not with notifactions not working, exactly the opposite. I have turned off notifications for several of the apps on my phone, but notifications still appear.
    Is this a known problem? The main offender is an app called FreeAppADay.

    I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems.  I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
    I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well.  I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
    I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix.  I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
    So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account.  I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
    Any thoughts?

  • How do I turn off email notification for a shared calendar?

    I've a shared calendar and when someone makes a new appointment I get notified by email. Those emails are annoying and I would like to get just a notification on my iDevice instead of the email.
    Therefor I logged in to iCloud.com, went to Calendar, Settings, Advanced, Invitations. In-App-Notification is active, email is inactive. But I still receive those mails and no in-app-notifications on my iDevice. Any ideas why this isn't working? Did I miss anything?
    PS: I've iCloud in German language, so maybe the expressions are no 100% correct as I used them above
