When you want to deal with an alert later, snooze it while it is still visible. Swiping it left or right dismisses it.

Snooze the alert

  1. Open Settings, tap Notifications, and turn on Allow notification snoozing.
  2. Swipe down from the top of the screen to find the alert.
  3. Tap its Down arrow, then tap Snooze. To change the snooze time, tap the Down arrow.

Find the alert afterward

If you are unsure which action you took, check Settings > Notifications for notification history. On devices that have it, look under Snoozed notifications for an alert you postponed or Recently dismissed notifications for one you swiped away. Some devices lack notification history, and settings can vary.
