You might want to stop certain Reddit notifications if they pop-up every now and then on your device. And, you might be interested in turning off all Reddit notifications if you only use the platform to read content and not be notified about anything.
Turn Off Reddit Notifications on Desktop
Since Reddit doesn’t offer an official desktop app, using Reddit on a desktop basically means using the Reddit website. You can turn the site’s notifications off in any of your web browsers.
Stop Certain Reddit Notifications
You can stop certain Reddit notifications, like the trending posts notifications, from the web version of Reddit. Reddit automatically saves changes, so you don’t need to select any button.
Stop All Reddit Notifications
An easy way to stop all Reddit notifications is to block the site notifications in your web browser. This way, your browser will prevent the site from sending you any alerts. Nearly all the popular browsers have the option to block site notifications. In the following example, we’ll use Google Chrome. Reddit is now blocked from sending you any notifications in your browser. Know that Reddit will still continue to send notifications in your other browsers if you use the site in those browsers. To unblock Reddit notifications, select Reddit on the Notifications screen in Chrome, select the three-dots menu next to it, and choose Allow.

Turn Off Reddit Notifications on iOS
Reddit’s iOS app offers the option to enable and disable any notification you want. If this doesn’t suffice, you can use the iOS Settings app to disable all notifications at once.

Use the Reddit app itself to turn off select notifications.
