These notifications can appear as pop ups on the screen, as banners at the top of the screen, and even on the lock screen.

If you are getting a lot of notifications from apps like the calendar, then you might want to change those notification settings a bit.

Our tutorial below will show you how ot modify your iPad calendar notifications so that they stop appearing on the lock screen.

How to Disable iPad Calendar Lock Screen Alerts

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Choose Notifications.
  3. Select Calendar.
  4. Turn off the Lock Screen option.

Our guide continues below with additional information on how to stop showing calendar events on your iPad lock screen, including pictures of these steps.

Using the Calendar app on your iPad and iPhone is a simple way to make sure that you are always alerted to events that you have saved.

Your calendar will notify you shortly before an event is about to begin, in an effort to help you remember those events.

But anyone with access to your iPad can view an event if the notification is displaying on your lock screen, and you might have calendar events that are private, and you would like to keep away from prying eyes.

Fortunately, you can adjust your iPad 2 Calendar notification settings so that you stop displaying your events on your lock screen.

You can keep other notifications intact, however, allowing you to take advantage of the notification feature without needing to display them on the lock screen.
