Disabling Time Sensitive Notifications

If you have an iPhone, you may see a "Time Sensitive" banner on Snapchat due to the Focus feature. This is an iOS feature rather than a Snapchat feature. If you don't want these notifications, you can easily disable it. Here's everything you need to know about the "Time Sensitive" banner notification on Snapchat.

Time Sensitive Meaning on Snapchat

When you see Time Sensitive on Snapchat, it means you received notifications during Focus mode. This is an iOS feature meant to remind you of any missed notifications; it doesn't necessarily mean you need to do anything right away. This can be disabled in your Notification settings.

iOS may label your Snapchat notifications as Time Sensitive. This simply acts as a reminder to respond to your Snap messages when you have Do Not Disturb or another Focus mode enabled. iPhones and iPads running iOS 15 or later have this feature to stay on top of time-sensitive events.
- While this is helpful for other apps like Find My or Lyft, it may be considered spammy if you don't need or want reminders to use a social media app.
- You can easily disable this feature in your settings.
