Control which apps read your notifications

Some apps need to access notifications from other apps to work properly. For example, a smart driving
companion app needs to access notifications from other apps in order to read them aloud when you're
driving.
Be sure that apps with access to your notifications have legitimate reasons, because with this access they
can:
•
Read all notifications, including personal information like contact names and text messages
•
Dismiss notifications
•
Answer calls
•
Turn Do Not Disturb
Check which apps can read your notifications
1. Go to Settings > Notifications > Device & app notifications.
2. Under Allowed, review the list of apps.
3. Touch an app to see which notifications it can access:
•
Real-time communication from apps in use, including navigation and calls
• Conversations, like text messages and chats
• Notifications with sound and vibration
•
Silent notifications
Stop app from reading notifications

access.
