Apple’s iOS 10 update has added the ability to clear all notifications at once on your iPhone. Let us take a look at the steps to Clear All notifications at once on iPhone.
Clear All Notifications At Once on iPhone
Prior to the iOS 10 update, iPhone users had to endure the painful ritual of deleting notifications one-by-one from the the notification centre.
Now with the iOS 10 update, you can finally dismiss all notifications at once, instead of laboriously going through your notifications and deleting them one-by-one.
Unfortunately, this feature currently works fully on 3D touch enabled devices like iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
It is also possible to clear multiple notifications at once on non 3D touch devices, but only for notifications received on a given day and not for notifications received over a period of 2 or more days.
Clear All Notifications At Once on 3D Touch Enabled Devices
Follow the steps below to clear all notifications at once on your 3D touch enabled iPhone.
1. Open the Notifications on your iPhone by sliding your finger down from the top edge of the screen.
2. You will see all the notifications that you have received on your iPhone with an “X” at the top of the notifications.
3. To delete individual notifications, swipe left on the notification that you want to delete and tap on clear.
4. To delete All notifications at once, press on the “X” button until you see the “Clear All Notifications” prompt.
5. Next, tap on Clear All Notifications to get rid of all notifications on your iPhone in one go.
This feature is currently available on devices supporting 3D touch. Hopefully, other non 3D touch devices will also be supported in the future.
Clear All Notifications At Once on Non 3D Touch Enabled Devices
As mentioned above, the ability to Clear All Notifications at once on Non 3D touch enabled devices is limited only to notifications received in a day.
