How to remove stocks, weather and customize iPhone notification center

The Notification Center in iOS 7 presented a new way to show important information in a new ‘Today’ view. With a single swipe down gesture, you can easily access the date, weather, reminders, stocks and calendar events. This is in addition to all of your notifications. When you rely on your iPhone to provide you with information that matters to you, the default settings in iOS 7 can result in information overload. You can remove weather and stocks from the notification center on iPhone and customize the settings to create the ultimate iPhone Notification Center, personalized just for you.

How to remove weather, stocks from Notification Center

Apple still doesn’t provide a way to remove or Apple included apps, but thankfully, you can remove them from the notification center.

Navigate to Settings > Notification Center

Scroll to the ‘Today View’

Toggle Stocks to off (white).

Removing weather can also be done, but it’s not as obvious. Repeat steps 1-2 above, but toggle off the Today Summary. This will remove weather. Another way to do this, though not recommended, is to remove access to location data for the weather app. The trouble with this method is that it will render the stock weather app useless. This isn’t such a big if you use a third party weather app. For kicks, here’s how to do it.

Navigate to Settings > Privacy

Tap on Location Services

Scroll to the ‘Weather‘ app and toggle to ‘off’.
