Alerts and Notification Center
Alerts
Alerts let you know about important events. They can appear briefly at the top of the screen, or
remain in the center of the screen until you acknowledge them.
Some apps may include a badge on their Home screen icon, to let you know how many new items
await—for example, the number of new email messages. If there’s a problem—such as a message
that couldn’t be sent—an exclamation mark appears on the badge. On a folder, a numbered badge
indicates the total number of notifications for all the apps inside.
Alerts can also appear on the Lock screen.
Respond to an alert without leaving your current app. Pull down on the alert when it appears at
the top of your screen.
Note: This feature works with text and email messages, calendar invitations, and more.
