If you're not receiving any notifications for new conversations or messages, please check if you have notifications enabled on your Android device.

 



 

Android menu names vary by manufacturer and OS version. The device-specific examples below include older versions. If a path does not match your phone, use its current notification and app battery settings instead. Changing battery optimization can increase battery use.

## Android Notifications

 



 

For Android devices, you will need to go to the **Settings**** \> ****Apps & Notifications** section.

Make sure the **Show notifications** option is enabled. If not, please use the switch next to it to enable them. You can also choose the **Allow notification dot** to display the badge next to the app's icon whenever a message is waiting for you.

## Can't hear the incoming notifications

 



 

Please check if your device isn't muted (swipe your finger down from the upper edge of the screen). If it is muted, you will need to turn the sound back on. Another reason for this may be that you have the notifications turned off in the app. Please go to the Tidio app, open **Settings \> Notifications**, and enable the notification types you need. Check the **Sound** setting for each type.

 

## Troubleshooting in Tidio

 

Start in the Tidio mobile app. Open **Settings \> Notifications \> Notification Troubleshooting**. If the check reports battery optimization, tap **Open Battery Settings**, then **Go to battery settings**. Follow the prompt to set Tidio to **Don't optimize**.

 

After changing the setting, return to troubleshooting and tap **Run again**. You can also tap **Send a Test Message** to test your settings.
