Clear Notifications on iPhone
Prior to the iOS 10 update, iPhone users had to endure the painful ritual of deleting notifications one-by-one from the notification center. If you are using the latest version of iPhone, you can dismiss all notifications at once on iPhone, instead of laboriously going through your notifications and deleting them one-by-one. However, this feature currently works properly only on 3D touch enabled devices like (iPhone 6s and later versions). While it is also possible to Clear All Notifications at once on non 3D touch enabled devices, the feature is only limited to Notifications received over a period of 2 or more days.

Follow the steps below to clear all notifications at once on your 3D touch enabled iPhone.
