The messaging feature on any Mac is one of the most significant features to keep you in touch with your contacts without any issue. Sometimes, you don’t want to get disturbed and want to avoid the notification of the message. If you know how to manage the notification in the MacOS, then it will prove helpful in avoiding these distractions and doing what you love. After following these steps, you still receive messages.

In this blog, you will get how to turn off the message on your Mac, and customized with various preferences.

At the Notification Center

If you are using Mac for a longer time, then you must know about this feature. But for others, it is one of the quickest ways to access all the messages that you may see in the popup. Click on the notification icon that you will see on the top of the corner of the screen. There you will find Do Not Disturb, and click on that part. It is one of the easiest ways to avoid the messages until mid-night (By default). After that, you will have to reset it. You can also set it for a specific period to which the “Do Not Disturb” feature will be enabled.

The preference Menu of the System

It contains the menu option that includes the broader selection of the Message notification from the settings. If you choose any option mentioned below, then you can do it in the best possible way.

Do Not Disturb – It is the same command that you can enable it from the notification center menu. It is for a temporary period, but you can allow it for a specific period.

Allow Notifications From – It is the option that can allow you to set the alert from any particular application. It is a useful feature when you don’t want to see the notification from any specific application.

Alert Style – This feature can set alerts like Banners, None, and alert. If you choose None, then you will prevent the display of the notification on the screen. With a banner, your Mac will flash the message on the screen, and after some time, the message will disappear. When you choose Alerts, then you will display the message, until you dismiss them manually.

Show Notification Preview – It allows you to manage the display of the message on the screen. If you want to get it to display on the screen, you can also pick the display’s duration of the notification. So, choose accordingly.

Show in Notification Center – It is the only menu that can help you in picking the application that you want to see in the pop ups in the notification center. This feature will display the notifications that were received in the last 7 days.

Badge App Icon – If you have enabled this feature, then the number of messages will be displayed on the icon of the message’s application on the screen.

Play Sound for Notifications – If you have disabled it, you will turn off all the notifications.

Notification Center Sort Order – You can set the order of the notifications like if you choose a Recent sort, then all the recent messages will be displayed on the screen. You can also choose your preferred application by making some changes to the notification’s preferences. You can do it by dragging the application up or down.

Messages – With this feature, you can choose a specific message to be displayed on which section (Banner, Alert, or on-screen). This menu will display the message in the icon badge that will not display the message on the notification section. From this menu, you can also use a different sound for the different messages on this menu.

Bottomline

Picking and choosing your specific application for the notification alert will help you in avoiding the distraction. So, follow these steps that are mentioned above to avoid other things while working on something.
