Notification settings
Changing notification preferences
- Tap You > Notifications.
- For each event type, choose where you want to get the notification: In-app, E-mail, or Phone notification.
- Tap Save.
Replying from a notification
Pull down or press and hold a new message notification:
- Reply: Write and send a reply without opening the app.
- Mark as Read: Mark the message as read.
If your phone isn’t showing notifications, make sure Flowsy notifications are turned on in your phone’s settings.
In the desktop app, open Settings > Notification Preferences. Here you can set:
- Message notifications and Notification Sound
- Message Preview: Whether the message content appears in the notification
- Keep running in the background when closed: Keep getting notifications when you close the window
- Start when the computer starts
Note: Because messages are end-to-end encrypted, the notification text is unlocked on your device. When it can’t be unlocked, the notification says New message; see Message content in notifications.
