How to receive push notifications from the Official FetLife App?

It’s important to know that push notifications currently only work on the following operating systems:

  • Android
  • Windows
  • MacOS
  • iOS 16.4 and up

Turning on Push Notifications

The first time you log in to the FetLife Progressive Web App you'll see a banner at the bottom of the app prompting you to enable push notifications. You can enable them via that route by:

  1. Pressing the Enable button on the banner
  2. Pressing Allow when prompted about enabling push notifications

In case you didn't get the banner or dismissed it, you can enable push notifications at any time by:

  1. Visiting https://fetlife.com/settings/notifications
  2. Finding the Enable Push Notifications box at the top of the page
  3. Pressing Turn On and pressing Allow when your device asks

If you don't see the Enable Push Notifications box, push notifications are already on for this device, or your browser doesn't support them. On iPhones and iPads, the box only shows inside the installed app.

Reviewing Push Notifications

We understand that it’s not always interesting to receive all kinds of push notifications. You can choose which ones you get at any time in the Push column of your Notification Settings. See How do I choose which notifications I get by push or email?
