Stopping iPhone/iPad (iOS) messages from repeatedly alerting you to new messages

So a big pain for me in iOS was how whenever I’d get a text message/iMessage it will keep on beeping at me…. Well I found a way to stop this from happening by turning off “Repeat Alerts” in the Notification Settings for Messages app.

How do you get there?

  • Go to the Settings App.
  • Select “Notification Centre”.
  • Select “Messages”.
  • Scroll down until you see “Repeat Alerts”.

Here’s a screen shot to show where it is :-).
