When smartphones like the iPhone came along, they introduced a whole new way to stay connected. Suddenly, anyone could send emails and browse the web from anywhere on the planet. But this constant connectivity and the expectation of being available 24/7 has also brought new levels of stress. It’s hard to relax or enjoy a vacation when your iPhone keeps buzzing with work emails.

One possible solution is to hide your mobile devices or turn them off during your off hours. However, this isn’t practical for many people who use their phones for both work and personal tasks. A better option might be to hide the emails that you don’t want to see, so you can use your iPhone for personal matters without the distraction of work-related issues that can wait until later.

How to Turn Off iPhone Mail Notifications

If you’re like most users, the constant reminder of unread emails on your iPhone home screen and the frequent buzzing sound of new email notifications are major obstacles to having a stress-free weekend. The good news is that iOS gives you the ability to manage notifications for specific apps or even specific email accounts.

This flexibility allows you to hide all signs of incoming emails – such as the unread email badge and new email notifications – while still being able to access your iPhone and check your email whenever you want. This means that even though your emails are still there, you won’t be aware of them unless you actively look for them.

To turn off Mail notifications, go to Settings > Notifications > Mail. On this screen, you’ll find the option labeled Allow Notifications. Simply tap the green switch next to it to turn it off. Now, when you go back to your iPhone home screen, you’ll notice that the Mail app icon no longer has the unread email badge, even if you have hundreds of unread emails. Your read and unread emails are still in the app, but they won’t be visible on the home screen.

How to Turn Off Mail Notifications and Hide the Unread Email Badge for a Specific Account

Alright, so here’s how you can customize your iPhone’s email notifications on a per-account basis. This way, you can choose which email accounts you want to receive notifications from and which ones you want to hide. Pretty convenient, right? Let me walk you through it.

To start, let’s disable the notifications for all of your iPhone’s email accounts. This is useful if you want some time off and don’t want to be disturbed. Just follow these steps. Head to Settings, then go to Notifications and select Mail.

You’ll see a list of your email accounts there. If you want to disable notifications for a specific account, tap on it to see the options. Now, you have a few settings to control when and how you receive notifications for that account.

If you want to disable all notifications for that account, simply turn off Show in Notification Center, Badge App Icon, and Show on Lock Screen. To be thorough, you can also tap on Sounds and choose None at the top of the list.

By following these steps, you’ll make sure that you won’t receive any notifications for the selected email account. But don’t worry, you’ll still receive notifications for your other email accounts.

Let’s say you have a work email account and a personal email account. You can use these steps to disable all notifications for your work email, but keep the notifications for your personal iCloud or Gmail account enabled. This way, you can enjoy your weekend without being bothered by work emails, but still stay informed about personal emails.

If you ever need to check your work email, just open the Mail app. All your existing and new unread emails will be waiting for you, but only when you’re ready. Just remember to go back to Settings and turn the Mail notifications back on when you return to work on Monday.
