If you’d rather not get recurring text message alerts on your iPhone, here’s how to disable them entirely.
By default, when you receive a text message on iPhone, you get two alerts: The first is the first alert when you first receive the text message, and the second time is about a minute or two later as a “reminder” alert. various. However, if you prefer to only receive one alert for each text message, there is a way you can change it from the settings.
Most likely, you have already messed with the settings to change certain features and the like, but this setting is a bit hidden and not many iPhone users know about it.
Obviously, this feature is there to remind someone they’ve received a text message when they didn’t hear the first alert or weren’t near their iPhone at the time. Personally, I always keep my phone with me, so I almost always hear the first text message alert I get. Therefore, the second reminder alert is useless and mostly annoying.
Often times, if I don’t reply to a text message before the repeat alert goes off, it’s usually because my hands are already occupied with another task, but I usually hear the first alert without issue and can remember to text it. when my hands are free
If you’re in the same boat, here’s how you can disable the second reminder alert and get alerts only once for every text message you receive.
Disable Replay Text Message Alerts on iPhone
If you find the mostly recurring “reminder” alerts annoying, you don’t need to put up with them as you can disable them in the settings. Finding it in the settings isn’t as easy as you might think, but if you follow these steps, you’ll be on your way to getting rid of repetitive warnings in no time.
First open the app and select .
Tap on it and then scroll all the way down. You should see an option that says Go ahead and tap this setting.
From here, just select and after that when you receive a text message you will only get an alert instead of a reminder two minutes later.
These repeated alerts are not only annoying, but can save you even more embarrassment if your iPhone turns off during a meeting or in a quiet area where phone use is minimized. Usually most people will forgive you for the first loud warning, but if you have recurring alerts enabled, this can land you in a world of scolding from others. Fortunately, you don’t have to be “that guy”.
Customizing Replay Alerts
If you’re at the other end of the spectrum and prefer to receive reminder alerts, you can customize how many times you want to receive reminder alerts, up to 10 times every two minutes.
You can choose how many replay alerts you want to receive by choosing a set of replay alerts instead of settings.
If you’re the type of person who neglects to check your phone, this can be a great feature for those who need to be reminded to reply to their text messages, because instead of just sending an alert, it repeats text message alerts every two minutes. However, for those who usually use their iPhones personally, most of the time you don’t need such a feature.
