Turn Off Email Notifications For Mail App On iOS

The email notifications that you receive on your iPhone can come in a couple of different flavors. There are sounds that can alert you to a new message, alerts that can pop up on your screen, and a white number in a red circle that appears on the top of the Mail icon to let you know how many unread messages you have. This can be helpful for some people but, for others, who are probably checking their emails pretty frequently anyway, it might be unnecessary.

If you would prefer not to receive any of these Email notifications on your device iOS, then you are in luck. You can turn off the new Email alert notification sound completely, preventing that sound from activating entirely. Another common purpose of this is to stop getting alerts when an inbox is being pelted with inconsequential emails, which can be effectively sorted by turning off the wider alert sound.
