How to Turn Off POP UP & Sound Notifications for Apps on Android Phone (Best Method)
2Best Method: Managing App Notification Categories
This method is the most effective because modern Android versions (Android 8.0 and newer) break an app's notifications into separate categories (e.g., "General," "Promotions," "Direct Messages"). You can silence or disable a specific category without affecting important ones.
1. Navigate to the App's Notification Settings
Open your phone's Settings app.
Tap on Notifications (or Apps & Notifications / Sound & Notifications, depending on your phone model).
Tap on App notifications or See all apps.
Find and tap on the specific App you want to change (e.g., Instagram, Reddit, or a game).
2. Turn Off Pop-Ups and Sound for Specific Categories
Once you are on the app's notification page, you will see a list of notification categories for that app.
Tap on the name of a category you want to silence (e.g., "Promotions," "Likes," or "Friend Requests").
On the next screen, look for these specific settings to turn them off:
To stop the pop-up/banner (Heads-up) notification: Turn off the toggle for Pop on screen or set the Behavior to "Show silently" or Importance to "Low" (this prevents it from popping up over your screen).
To stop the sound: Set the Sound option to None or Silent.
3. To Disable All Notifications from an App
If you want to completely stop all interruptions from a specific app (no sound, no pop-ups, no icon in the status bar):
Follow Step 1 above to get to the app's main notification page.
Simply turn off the main toggle switch at the top that says Show notifications or Allow notifications.
