You can disable Insight Timer notifications directly from your device's settings. The process differs between iPhones and Android phones, but both let you turn notifications off completely or customize which types you receive.
For iPhone (iOS)
To turn off all Insight Timer notifications on your iPhone:
- Open your device's Settings.
- Tap Notifications.
- Scroll down and select Insight Timer.
- Toggle off Allow Notifications.
You also have the option to keep notifications on but customize the experience. Instead of turning them off completely, you can choose which notification types you'd like to see:
- Lock Screen — notifications appearing on your lock screen
- Banners — notifications appearing at the top of your screen when you're using your phone
- Sounds — audio alerts when you get a notification
This gives you fine control over how and when you hear from Insight Timer, so you can stay connected to your practice without feeling overwhelmed.
For Android
To turn off Insight Timer notifications on Android:
- Open your device's Settings.
- Tap Notifications (or Apps, depending on your device — this varies by manufacturer).
- Select App Notifications.
- Find and tap Insight Timer.
- Toggle off Allow Notifications.
Keep in mind that notification labels and exact menu names may vary depending on your Android version or device manufacturer. Some devices call it "App notifications," others call it "Notification settings." If you get stuck, checking your device maker's support site can help.
