WhatsApp sends you notifications for incoming messages. But what if you haven’t heard it when the message arrived? To solve this, WhatsApp has introduced a new Message Reminder feature. Even if you miss the initial notification, this feature nudges you about unseen messages, helping you catch up quickly. It’s especially useful in today’s world where personal messages can easily get lost among promotional or transactional ones.
What is the Message Reminder on WhatsApp?
In the WhatsApp beta update version 2.24.22.21, WhatsApp introduced a Reminders feature for unseen status updates. The latest beta update, version 2.24.25.29, expands this feature to include unread messages as well.

The feature doesn’t nudge you every few minutes. Instead, it relies on an algorithm to prioritize reminders for contacts you interact with frequently. WhatsApp says these notifications are rare, avoiding notification fatigue. These notifications may not function properly if you reinstall the app or switch to a new phone, as the data resets and is not stored on servers or included in backups.
How to Enable or Change Message Reminder Settings
The feature is currently available only to beta users with WhatsApp version 2.24.25.29 for Android. It’s turned on by default in the beta version, but you can adjust it easily:
Open WhatsApp.
Go to Settings > Notifications.
Tap on Reminders. Turn it on or off using the toggle.
There’s no word yet on when this WhatsApp Message Reminders will roll out to the stable version, but beta testers can start using it now. The updated Message Reminder ensures you stay connected by highlighting chats and updates that matter most. Meta has been on a roll this year shipping a number of features to both WhatsApp and Instagram.
Google is adding a lock screen notification minimalism feature in Android 15 QPR2.
When activated, notifications are minimized to icons below the clock for a cleaner look.
The feature is in beta testing with Android 15 QPR2 and may launch in Android 16.
The Android 15 QPR2 update is arriving in March 2025 and will introduce an exciting feature: lock screen notification minimalism. This feature helps keep your lock screen neat by shrinking notifications into smaller, less obtrusive icons, giving you a clearer view of your wallpaper.
Android enthusiast Mishaal Rahman highlighted this feature in the latest beta (via Android Authority). Typically, lock screen notifications take up significant space, obscuring your wallpaper. While you can disable these notifications, that approach risks missing important updates and requires unlocking your phone to check notifications.
Google wants to fix this. The new feature is called “Lock screen notification minimalism.” You can find it in Settings > Notifications once it goes live. The feature description says, “Show fewer notifications on lock screen.” But it doesn’t actually reduce the number of notifications. Instead, it hides them as icons in a small pill below the clock. Tap the pill to expand and view your notifications. Neat.
This keeps your lock screen clean, but you still see all notifications when needed. The feature is in beta and may be pushed to Android 16 or even later.
If it does come with Android 16, it could also include another feature called Notifications Cooldown. This feature gradually lowers the volume of repeated notifications from the same app. For example, if an app sends multiple notifications in a short time, the volume of each new notification will get progressively quieter. This helps reduce the annoyance of frequent alerts while still keeping you informed.
Are you tired of Discord’s default notification sound and want to spice things up? Unfortunately, Discord doesn’t offer built-in sound customization like other messaging platforms. However, I found some workarounds to help you change Discord notification sound to suit your taste. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to do it.
Note: You can only change Discord notification sound on Windows, Mac, and Android apps. Currently, there is no way to change the notification sound on the Discord web version or the iPhone app. You can only turn notifications on or off on these platforms.
1. Change Discord Notification Sound on Desktop (Windows and Mac)
Discord’s default app doesn’t let you change notification sounds directly. However, third-party tools like BetterDiscord can add this functionality.
⚠️ Warning: BetterDiscord violates Discord’s terms of service. However, BetterDiscord has mentioned that only some plugins in BetterDiscord are against Discord’s terms. The plugin used to change custom sounds does not have such issues but proceed at your own risk.
Select the Plugins option under the BetterDiscord section.
It will ask you to download dependencies in a pop-up; click on Download.
If you have moved the file to the Plugins folder correctly, you should see two options: BDFDB and NotificationSounds. Enable both.
4. Customize Sound Settings:
Click on the Settings icon next to the NotificationSounds plugin.
Select the Sound Configuration option.
Here, you can select the sound type (e.g., Call Ringing, Direct Message) and then choose from the available sounds.
You also have the option to upload your own sounds if you are not satisfied with the available ones.
2. Change Notification Sound on Discord Android App
On Android, you can set custom notification sounds for Discord via app settings.
Open Settings > Apps > Discord.
Select Notifications and pick a category (e.g., Direct Messages).
Select the Sound option.
Choose a custom sound file from your phone’s storage.
For iPhone, Discord doesn’t allow custom sounds natively. You may need to rely on the Shortcuts app or custom automation to change sounds, but these can be tricky to set up.

FAQs
1. Will the person be notified if you mute or turn on notifications for them?
No, the other person will not be notified.
2. Why do YouTubers ask for a bell icon?
It’s because if you enable the channel notifications, you will receive a notification immediately once the creator adds a new video. You will watch the video which increases the pageviews of the YouTube channel.
Having email previews readily available on your iPhone’s lock screen eliminates the need to open the Outlook app constantly. However, if Outlook email notifications only display a ‘New Message’ alert instead of the actual message, they become less useful. Fortunately, you can configure the Outlook app to show the email preview on your iPhone lock screen using the tips mentioned below.
1. Check Notification Preview Settings for Outlook
To start, you need to verify the notification preview settings for Outlook to ensure that the app is permitted to display email content on the lock screen. Here are the steps for the same.
1. Open the Settings app and scroll down to tap on Outlook > Notifications.
2. Select Show Previews and choose Always from the following menu.
2. Restart Your iPhone
This may sound basic, but you can try out this step. If the Outlook app is not showing the email preview on the lock screen due to an OS-related glitch, restarting your iPhone should fix the problem and save you a lot of time.
Press and hold one of the volume buttons and the side button until the power slider appears. Then, drag the slider to your right to turn off your iPhone.
When the device turns off, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears. After that, check if Outlook shows email previews on the lock screen.
3. Disable and Re-Enable Notifications for Outlook App
Several users on a Microsoft community post reported fixing this issue by disabling and re-enabling notifications for the Outlook app. So, if restarting your iPhone proves ineffective, you can try turning Outlook notifications off and then back on using these steps:
1. Open the Settings app and scroll down to tap on Outlook.
2. Tap on Notifications and disable the toggle next to Allow notifications.
When you enable Face ID for Outlook, the app hides email messages in lock screen notifications to protect your privacy and instead displays a generic ‘New Message’ alert. If you prefer to see email content in notifications, you’ll need to turn off Face ID for the Outlook app.
1. Open the Outlook app, tap the home icon at the top-left corner, and tap the gear-shaped icon.
2. Scroll down to Preferences and turn off the toggle next to Require Face ID.
If you haven’t enabled Face ID for the Outlook app, you can try turning it on and then back off. Here’s how:
1. Open the Outlook app, tap the home icon at the top-left corner, and tap the gear-shaped icon.
2. Under Preferences, enable the toggle next to Require Face ID. Then, select Allow.
3. Restart the Outlook app, open its settings menu, and turn off the toggle next to Require Face ID.
4. Exit the Outlook app. Open the Settings menu on your iPhone, scroll down to tap Outlook, and turn off the toggle next to Face ID.
5. Uninstall and Reinstall the Outlook App
Another reason Outlook may not show the email preview on your iPhone lock screen is if some of the app files have become corrupted or inaccessible. To fix this, try uninstalling the Outlook app and installing it again.
That will allow you to fix issues caused by problematic app data and update the app to its most recent version.
Long-press the Outlook app on your iPhone and select Remove App. Then, select Delete App to confirm.
A recent iOS update may have caused issues with the Outlook notification preview on your iPhone. Apple is usually quick when it comes to fixing such issues through updates. Hence, it’s a good idea to download and install any pending iOS updates if nothing else works.
Open the Settings app and head to General > Software Update. Download and install pending updates, and see if that helps.
Unlock Clarity
Email previews on your iPhone lock screen can save you much time and effort, especially if you receive numerous emails throughout the day. Applying the above tips should restore your ability to glance at the sender quickly, subject, and snippet of Outlook email content without launching the app.
When your iPhone becomes stuck on a pop-up alert, you can’t make phone calls, access your favorite apps, or do anything else. This can be a major inconvenience, disrupting your mobile experience. Whether it’s a persistent notification, an unexpected system alert, or an app-related issue, dealing with a pop-up that won’t go away on your iPhone can be frustrating. Fortunately, you can get rid of the pop-up alerts that won’t go away on your iPhone with the following tips.
1. Force Reboot Your iPhone
Force rebooting your iPhone is one of the most effective ways to remove pop-up alerts that won’t go away, so it’s the first thing you should try.
To force reboot your iPhone:
1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
3. Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears. Wait for your iPhone to turn back on; the pop-up alert will not appear.
2. Disable Critical or All Alerts for the Home App
Is your iPhone repeatedly getting stuck with the ‘Home’ Would Like to Send You Critical Alerts pop-up? Instead of force rebooting your iPhone every time that happens, you can consider disabling alerts from the Home app entirely on your iPhone. Several users on an Apple Community post reported fixing the issue for good with this trick. You can also give it a try.
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and scroll down to tap on Notifications.
2. Locate and tap on Home. Then, disable the toggles next to Allow Notifications and Critical Alerts.
3. Disable Notifications for the Problematic App
If your iPhone is getting stuck while displaying pop-up alerts from a specific app, there may be an issue with the app itself. For instance, if a missed call alert has become stuck on your iPhone, you can try disabling notifications for the Phone app temporarily. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app and go to Notifications.
2. Locate and select the problematic app from the list. Then, turn off the toggle next to Allow Notifications.
Tip: If you don’t want to turn off notifications from the app entirely, you can also select the Scheduled Summary option.
If your iPhone gets stuck while displaying Government’s test alerts, you can turn them off from the Government Alerts section in Settings > Notifications. However, leave the AMBER, emergency, or other public safety alerts alone, for they’re essential for your safety.
4. Unplug All the Accessories and Turn Off Bluetooth
At times, wired or wireless accessories connected to your iPhone can trigger pop-up alerts that stick around. You can unplug all wired accessories and turn off Bluetooth to unpair the wireless ones.
5. Install App and iOS Updates
An app-specific issue may cause the alert to get stuck in the notification tray. If you haven’t updated that app in a while, it’s a good idea to update all apps on iPhone. For that, open the App Store and tap the profile icon at the top-right corner. Scroll down and tap the Update All option.
Installing iOS updates is equally important. If you have been avoiding any iOS updates, it’s a good idea to install them too. Open the Settings app and go to General > Software Update. Download and install pending updates. That’ll ensure that your iPhone runs the latest iOS version that’s compatible with the relevant app version.
6. Reset All Settings
If you’re reading this solution, it’s safe to assume that the methods mentioned above did not work. So, you can reset all the settings on your iPhone and start over. Note that this will only impact the different settings (network, sound, call, etc.) and will have no impact on the data on your iPhone. Also, it will revert your iPhone to its default settings. After that, you can always tweak the Notifications settings to prevent any pop-up alerts that won’t go away on iPhone.
1. Open the Settings app and head to General > Transfer or Reset iPhone.
2. Tap Reset at the bottom and select Reset All Settings from the list of options.
No More Pop-Up Drama
Sometimes, the sticky pop-up alerts won’t go away if they belong to a system app or an outdated third-party app. So besides updating the iOS, you can also update the apps. If an app keeps sending such persistent notifications, you can always use their web app versions on iPhone. In critical situations, you can disable notifications temporarily or apply some solutions mentioned above to fix the underlying issue.
