How to Turn Off Screen Time Notifications on an iPhone 7

The Screen Time feature that was introduced in iOS 12 can provide you with a lot of insight about how you use your iPhone, as well as how much time you spend on it. You can even choose to block certain apps at certain times of the day if you need some help in putting down your phone.

But part of the Screen Time experience involved the app sending you some notifications, such as a weekly report that lets you know how much you used your iPhone. If you don’t want to receive these notifications, and would instead prefer to check the Screen Time app manually, then you can follow our guide below and turn off notifications from the Screen Time app on your iPhone.
