In the Alerts area, you can choose whether you want the notifications to appear on the lock screen, notification center, and/or as banners that show up everywhere. You can also enable or disable sounds for Snapchat notifications, as well as show or hide Badges (the number on a red background that appears on the Snapchat icon).

To go back, just return to Snapchat, tap your profile photo, tap the gear, and then tap Notifications.

For example, if you don’t want to see notifications about unopened Snaps or chats, you can disable the switch next to “Message Reminders. "

If notifications were already enabled, you can skip this step. Depending on your version of Android, enabling notifications may open your Settings app to a screen that lets you toggle notifications for Snapchat on or off. Tap the switch to enable notifications when prompted, if so.

For example, if you don’t want to see notifications about suggested friends, remove the checkmark from the “Friend Suggestions” option.

You must already have your general Snapchat notifications enabled to be notified about new messages in your chat. This will work for both one-on-one and group chats.
