Why am I not receiving notifications? 

On iOS, check that you have enabled notifications from the app, and that you have installed the latest version from the App Store.

On Android there are a few reasons why you might not be receiving notifications.

1) Notifications are disabled on Happy Bob app. In the app, navigate to Settings → Notifications, and check that notifications are toggled on.

2) Notifications are disabled from Android system settings. On Android system settings, go to Settings → Apps → Happy Bob → Notifications, and check that notifications are enabled.

3) Your phone’s power saving features are shutting down Happy Bob in the background and block notifications from going through, or the notifications appear with a delay. Phones that can behave like this include devices from Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, One Plus, Vivo and Lenovo. You can fix this issue by disabling the battery saving options for Happy Bob. You can find the settings for this on your system settings, but the exact placement varies by manufacturer and Android version. Here listed are some common devices on newer Android versions.

Samsung devices: Go to Settings → Device Care or Device Maintenance → Battery → Optimize battery usage → Disable for Happy Bob app.

Huawei devices: Go to Settings → Battery → App launch → Happy Bob → Turn off “Manage all automatically”. In the following dialog, turn all the selections on.

If the issue still persists after checking all of these steps, or you’re having trouble finding the power saving options, please contact us at hello@happybob.app. Also, if you notice you’re not receiving all notifications according to our notifications logic listed above, please let us know and we will investigate further.
