iPhone has the option to set your notifications in three different settings depending on your preferred choice for each application. You can choose to prominently have your notifications shown to you on your lock screen or notification center with sound alerts or not have to see them at all.

So what is the third option you can set your notifications to?

From iOS 12 onward, Apple released one of the most convenient features like managing notifications from the lock screen or notification center without going to Settings.

This is known as Instant Tuning. It enables the user to swipe on a notification and quickly mute it. So when an application delivers notifications quietly, it will not pop up on the lock screen. This also prevents the notification sounds and banners that show on the top of your home screen or when using other applications. They however can be found in your notification center.
