Notifications appear when gaming even with alerts blocked

If you’re receiving calls, messages, and app notifications when playing gaming apps, you can turn on the "Block during game" feature in Game Booster. This will block certain notifications whenever you have a game opened, so you won't have to worry about being interrupted. However, keep in mind that some notifications cannot be blocked and will always appear during games.
