Notification Center is a feature in iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS that provides an overview of alerts from applications.[1][2] It displays notifications until the user completes an associated action, rather than requiring instant resolution. Users may choose what applications appear in Notification Center, and how they are handled. Initially released with iOS 5 in October 2011, Notification Center was made available on Macs as part of OS X Mountain Lion in July 2012.
