How to set-up the SMS notifications in BIG Launcher / BIG SMS on Android 10

Please note: Android system menus and screens can vary slightly between different phone manufacturers and Android versions. While these instructions are generally applicable, your specific device's interface may look a little different.

Method 1: Adjusting Notifications from an Unread Message

When you have an unread SMS message, you can quickly access its notification settings:

3. Additional buttons will appear. Tap “Details”.
4. A new screen with system settings will show up. Tap “Incoming message”.
5. On the next screen, you can choose your preferred “Notification style”. You can also select a different notification sound from your phone’s library. Additional options may be available depending on your specific phone model.

If you wish to stop all notifications from BIG SMS, you can turn them off completely from the previous screen in these settings.
