Snapchat Notifications & How to Keep It Private on Your iPhone

For example, if you have Snapchat on your iPhone & are active on the social media app, you get notifications about almost everything that’s happening on your account. & there are always people who are sitting nearby you & have set their eyes on everything you are doing on your phone.

It feels like the other person is stalking you by looking at every notification you’re getting & that feels quite odd. & since you have all the control in your hands, it’s about time to use this situation as a reason to make the Snapchat notifications private. 

We can keep those unwanted people or stalkers confused with the notification alert settings on your iPhone. Because iPhone gives you three options to customize the notification settings such as:

1. Using the default settings as the current one
2. Hide the notifications on Lock screen only
3. Hiding the notifications completely on your iPhone

The above options on your iPhone gives you enough control to handle those Snapchat notifications your way. However, when you choose the 2nd option, you will be able to see the notifications but not the content. For example, the notification from Snapchat will look somewhat like, Notification; Snapchat.
