# UNNotificationInterruptionLevel.timeSensitive

The system presents the notification immediately, lights up the screen, can play a sound, and breaks through system notification controls.

```
case timeSensitive
```

## Discussion

Time Sensitive notifications are similar to active notifications, but can break through system controls such as Notification Summary and Focus. The user can turn off the ability for time sensitive notification interruptions.
