What Does Has Notifications Silenced Mean in iOS 15 and 16

In iOS 15 and 16, the “Has Notifications Silenced” indicator means that the notifications for that app are currently silenced. This means that the app will not send any notification banners or sounds, and the notification will not appear on the lock screen.

You can silence an app’s notifications by going to Settings > Notifications and selecting the app from the list. Then, turn off the “Allow Notifications” toggle. You can also use the “Delivery Quietly” option to have the app’s notifications delivered quietly to the notification center without any banners or sounds.

Note that silencing an app’s notifications does not prevent the app from sending push notifications or other types of notifications. It only affects the way that notifications are presented to the user.

You can unsilence an app’s notifications by going back to the app’s notification settings and turning on the “Allow Notifications” toggle. This will restore the app’s notifications to their default behavior.
