Figure 13-6: Banner notifications on the Lock screen; slide your finger on one to open it.
Banner notifications are sweet, and we're particularly fond of sliding our finger to view a particular
item. But we digress. You find out how to enable or disable banner notifications (and alert notifica-
tions, too), but not until Chapter 15 .
Here's what you need to know about navigating the Notification Center:
Close the Notification Center. Swipe or flick the blue arrow that looks like a caret symbol
(^) at the bottom of the list (refer to Figure 13-5 ) upward.
Open a notification. Tap it, and it opens in the appropriate program.
Clear a single notification. Tap the little circle to the left of the notification and it disappears.
The Today, All, and Missed tabs at the top of the screen provide different filters for your
notifications. Tapthemtoseethewayeachpresentsinformation.Notethatsomedetails,such
as today's weather and the “Tomorrow” section, only appear in the Today tab.
