Tired of getting pop-ups from the App Store about new offers or in-app purchases? The iPhone SE 3 (2022) lets you easily manage or disable App Store notifications through the iOS settings. Here’s how to stop them from interrupting you.
What App Store Notifications Are For
By default, iOS allows the App Store to send you alerts for things like:
- App updates
- Special offers or promotions
- In-app purchase changes
- Subscription renewals or billing issues
If those alerts aren’t helpful—or just feel spammy—you can turn them off in seconds.
How to Disable App Store Notifications on iPhone SE 3
Follow these steps to turn off App Store alerts completely:
- Open the Settings app from your Home screen.
- Tap Notifications.
- Scroll down and tap App Store from the list of apps.
- Toggle Allow Notifications to OFF.
Once disabled, your iPhone will no longer show banners, alerts, or play sounds related to the App Store.
Optional: Mute Notifications Instead of Disabling Them
If you still want to get alerts but just don’t want to be disturbed:
- Leave Allow Notifications ON.
- Under the Alerts section, toggle off Sounds.
- You can also disable Badges or stop alerts from showing on the Lock Screen or in the Notification Center.
This way, you’ll still receive updates silently without any buzz or noise.
Customize Even More Notification Options
iOS gives you extra control under the same settings screen:
- Choose Immediate Delivery or add notifications to your Scheduled Summary
- Enable or disable Time-Sensitive Notifications
- Use Notification Grouping to keep similar alerts organized
Bonus: Manage Notifications Directly in the App Store
Some notification categories—like in-app purchase alerts or personalized offers—can also be managed from within the App Store app.
To check:
- Open the App Store.
- Tap your profile icon at the top right.
- Go to Notifications (if available).
- Adjust the toggle switches as needed.
Not all users will see these settings, but they’re gradually being rolled out depending on region and iOS version.
