Managing Notifications in the PF App: In-App vs. Phone Notifications

  • Thread starter Drakkith

In summary, the PF app has the option to turn off notifications. These notifications can be either in-app or on the phone's main notifications screen. The user wants to turn off the latter notifications and checks PF every day. They have an Android phone and are unsure how to disable the app's notifications. They have looked in their phone's settings but have not found a way to set app-specific notifications. They will try turning off notifications in the app to see if that solves the issue.

In the PF app, under settings, I have an option for turning off notifications. Are these notifications the kind that occur in-app, or are these the kind that pop up on my phone's main notifications screen? Just curious because I'd like to turn those latter notifications off. I already check PF every day, and I don't want every reply to a PF thread I'm subscribed to popping up on my phone.

Hmmm in the phone setting can you set app specific notifications? I know you can in iPhone.

Not that I can find in the 10 minutes I just spent looking around my phone's settings. I'll turn off notifications in the app and see if that does the trick.
