Turn notifications on or off

You can set up Chrome to get notifications, such as meeting reminders, from websites, apps and extensions. To see your notifications, click the clock in the bottom corner of your screen.

How notifications work

By default, Chrome alerts you whenever a website, app or extension wants to send you notifications. You can change this setting at any time.

If you're browsing in Incognito mode, you won't get notifications.

Stop future notifications from a website, app or extension

1. Go to the notification for the website, app or extension that you want to stop.
2. Select Settings or long-press on the notification.
3. Select the box for 'Block all notifications'.

Clear all notifications

Select the clock to open your status area and view notifications.

• To delete a notification, go to its upper-right corner and select Remove or use your finger to swipe the notification to the side.
• To delete all notifications, scroll to the bottom of notifications and select Clear all.

Turn on 'Do not disturb'

When you need to focus, use 'Do not disturb' to temporarily stop your notifications from appearing in your status area. When you turn 'Do not disturb' off, the notifications that you missed will appear.

1. Select the clock in the bottom corner of your screen to open your status area.
2. Select Notifications to turn on 'Do not disturb'.

To start receiving notifications again, follow the steps above to turn off 'Do not disturb'.
