First, you need to enable the feature in the operating system settings. Here’s how to do it:
- On Pixel phones : Settings → Notifications → Allow snoozing notifications.
- On Samsung smartphones : Settings → Notifications → Advanced options → Show snooze button.
How to postpone a notification:
- Click on the button with the alarm clock icon in the card with the required notification.
- The notification will be automatically postponed for one hour.
- If you want to choose another period, click on the arrow next to it. The options are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours.
- All that’s left to do is collapse the notification curtain – the delayed push will disappear.
The function is not available on all third-party shells. In some systems like MIUI and Realme UI, the “snooze” appears when you hold your finger on a specific notification. You don’t need to activate anything in advance.
If you have postponed a notification but want to return to the content before the selected deadline, use the “Notification History” section. It also needs to be enabled first – read the instructions on our website.
The iPhone’s stock Messages app has a feature called Snooze Notifications. It’s not quite the same as Android’s snooze feature, but it serves the same purpose — though for all SMS and iMessage conversations, not just specific messages.
There is a high probability that the function will not help, but rather irritate. But if anything, you can enable it in the Settings app in the Notifications section → Messages → Set up notifications → Repeat notifications.
By the way, there is a similar option in Telegram for Android. It is activated here: ≡ → “Settings” → “Notifications and sounds” → “Repeat notifications”.
