It’s important for you to know what’s happening in your projects, and push notifications help keep you informed.
If you're not receiving these messages, you may need to change your notification settings for your phone and for the specific app. Airplane mode, data saver, battery saver, and “do not disturb” settings may also affect your notifications
If you use an iOS device, we added a troubleshooting tool within our iOS mobile app to help you update your notifications.
Certain Android device manufacturers customize their operating systems (known as stock ROMs), which changes the way notifications are received. When the app is cleared on such a device, the app and its background services are typically reset. This will disable push notifications.
