Advice

• If you have linked your Facebook and Twitter accounts to your iPhone, you can update the status of these two social networks right in the Notification Center.
• The notification center appears vertically on the iPhone home screen and appears vertically and horizontally when you are using an app.
• Some apps have additional settings for Notification Centers such as the number of notifications that will show up at a time in a list.

Warning

• Too many apps added to the Notification Center can be distracting. Therefore, you should only add important apps so that the list looks concise. However, you can drag the Notification Center up or down to see more apps.
