A snooze holds alerts back on this iPhone for a while, then ends by itself. It’s for not now: the builders are in, you’re in a meeting, the dog is out in the garden. For never, use a notification filter instead. This iPhone only
- A snooze lasts up to 24 hours, and ends by itself.
- A new snooze for the same thing replaces the old one rather than adding to it.
- It sits on top of the filter in force: while it lasts, nothing it covers gets through.
- Alerts held back by a snooze are listed under Held back, so you can see what you missed.
- Nothing changes on the server, or for anyone else.
Snooze one camera
Section titled “Snooze one camera”The quickest ways, wherever you are:
- From an alert: press and hold it, then Mute This Camera for an Hour.
- From the live view: tap Alerts under the picture, then 15 min, 1 hr, 4 hr, or Other… for a time of your own. See Live view.
- From a Live Activity: Snooze 1 Hour. See Live Activities.
- From a filter: the camera’s settings end with Snooze this camera….
While a camera is snoozed, its Alerts button in the live view reads Snoozed, and End Snooze ends it early.
Snooze everything
Section titled “Snooze everything”
- Open Settings › Notification Filters and tap Snooze every alert….
- Choose For a number of hours and minutes, or Until a time.
- Tap Snooze.
The Notifications widget’s snooze button and the Snooze Alerts control in Control Center do the same in one tap. See Widgets and Control Center.
See and end snoozes
Section titled “See and end snoozes”Every snooze in force is listed under Snoozes in Settings › Notification Filters, with what it covers, such as one camera, Everything from your server or Every alert, and the time it ends. Tap End beside one to end it now.
