Managing notification settings

One switch at the top turns everything off. Below it, suggestions and household activity have their own settings.

Notification settings are under Settings → Notifications.

Notifications, at the top, is the master switch. Turn it off and nothing is sent; everything below it is hidden until it’s back on.

Suggestions has a switch for each of the four kinds — Earning tasks, Occasional tasks, Day-specific tasks, Seasonal tasks — and a When row for the time of day they arrive. There is no separate master switch for suggestions: the group is on while any of the four is. See suggestions for what each one does.

Staying in the loop covers what other people do:

  • Household updates — when someone else takes care of a task, and when a new member joins the household
  • Added tasks — when new tasks are created. These are grouped over a short window, so adding a batch doesn’t arrive as a run of alerts.
  • Task requests — everything about requests: being asked, a request being fulfilled, a request being declined

Tasks you’ll hear about sits above them and applies to both Household updates and Added tasks: either all tasks, or only the tasks applicable to you.

To pause everything for a while without changing any of it, use Quiet mode.

Note

Push notification permission is also controlled by your device. If notifications aren’t arriving, check your device’s notification settings for FreshChores.
