I'm not getting notifications
Why Echo, comment and message alerts stop arriving, and the settings to check on each platform.
I'm not getting notifications
Notifications need permission from the phone and from Tubaar, and either one can be off.
In Tubaar
Settings → Notifications. Each kind — loves, Echoes, comments, new followers, messages, Scene prompts — has its own switch. Messages and Echoes are the ones people most often want and most often find off.
On the phone
- iPhone: Settings → Notifications → Tubaar → Allow Notifications. Check that Lock Screen, Notification Centre and Banners are all on, and that Focus modes aren't silencing the app.
- Android: Settings → Apps → Tubaar → Notifications. Check the app isn't battery-optimised (Settings → Battery → Tubaar → Unrestricted), which is the most common reason alerts arrive hours late.
Guest mode
A guest has no account, so there is nothing to notify. Sign in first.
Muted conversations and Scenes
A muted chat or Scene stays silent even with everything else on. Open it and check the bell in its header.
If this didn't help, tell support
Email support@tubaar.com with your phone model, OS version, the app version (Settings, at the bottom), and which kind of notification is missing.
