On the other hand, if you have an Apple brand cell phone, the step by step is very similar: enter the phone’s settings, go to the ‘Notifications’ option, in which all the programs you have installed will appear. It is enough to click on an application and deactivate the ‘allow notifications’ tab.
For Android phones, to be able to snooze notifications, what you have to do is go to the ‘Notifications’ section in the settings menu and click on ‘allow snoozing’. The next thing, after reaching the cell phone notice, is to drag it slightly to the left or to the right and tap on the clock symbol with the letter z. There, you can choose to snooze the notification for 15 minutes and a half hour, as well as one or two hours.
