In this episode, Thomas Domville discusses how to turn off repeated text message alerts on iOS and iPadOS. By default, your device will send a second notification alert two minutes after you receive a text message if you don't check it right away. This feature is designed to help ensure that you don't miss any important messages, but some users find it to be more annoying than helpful.
If you're one of those users, don't worry, it's easy to turn off repeated alerts. Here's how:
- Open the Settings app and double-tap Notifications.
- Double-tap Messages, and then double-tap "Customize notifications" at the bottom of the page; note that you can quickly jump to this button by performing a four-finger single-tap near the bottom of the screen.
- Double-tap "Repeat Alerts," and select "Never" to only be notified of an incoming text message once.

Nice
Thanks Thomas. When are you planning to do one on adding a wall paper on the lock screen? Would like to know if that is accessible. I would like to add several wall papers on the lock screen without sighted help. Last time I ask you nention it was not accessible. It was in the beginning of iOS 6.
And comes a question from me.
And I want to ask how I can customize the lock screen and add widgets without having to add a wallpaper. By the way, since we're prompted to pick a wallpaper to be displayed on the lock screen, I would like to know what is shown if we have not chosen anything. Is the background just blank in that case? Sorry, the question may be off-topic but I just wanted to ask it right after the previous post. By the way, I greatly appreciate this tip. I guess I could've figured it out but have never bothered or thought of checking the notification settings. So I'll do that soon. Thanks!
Thank you!
Didn't know you could change this setting. Thanks again, Thomas!
