# Mobile notifications
You can customize whether [stream messages](/help/stream-notifications),
[direct messages](/help/dm-mention-alert-notifications) and
[mentions][notifications-wildcard-mentions] trigger notifications in Zulip's
[Android](https://zulip.com/apps/ios) and [iOS](https://zulip.com/apps/ios)
apps.

## Testing mobile notifications
### For users on Zulip Cloud and Zulip Server 8.0+
!!! tip ""
Follow [these instructions](/help/view-zulip-version) to check the Zulip
version for your organization.
To verify that mobile notifications are working as desired, you can send
yourself a test notification from the Zulip mobile app. If you belong to more
than one Zulip organization, you can separately test notifications for each
account.
{start_tabs}
{tab|mobile}
1. [Download](https://zulip.com/apps/) and install the Zulip mobile app if you
have not done so already.
1. [Log in](/help/logging-in) to the account you want to test.
{!mobile-profile-menu.md!}
1. Tap **Settings**.
1. Tap **Notifications**.
1. Tap **Send a test notification**. If notifications are working, you will
receive a **Test notification**.
!!! tip ""
If you see a banner indicating that notifications have not been enabled
for your Zulip server, try [logging out](/help/logging-out) of your account
and [logging in](/help/logging-in) again. This will help if notifications
were enabled very recently.
{end_tabs}
### For users on older Zulip servers
!!! tip ""
Follow [these instructions](/help/view-zulip-version) to check the Zulip
version for your organization.
Start by configuring your notifications settings to make it easy to trigger a
notification.
{start_tabs}
{tab|desktop-web}
{settings_tab|notifications}
1. In the **Mobile** column of the **Notification triggers** table, make sure
the **DMs, mentions, and alerts** checkbox is checked.
1. Under **Mobile message notifications**, make sure the **Send mobile
notifications even if I'm online** checkbox is checked.
{end_tabs}
Next, test Zulip push notifications on your mobile device.
{start_tabs}
{tab|mobile}
1. [Download](https://zulip.com/apps/) and install the Zulip mobile app if you
have not done so already.
1. If your Zulip organization is self-hosted (not at `*.zulipchat.com`),
[check](/help/mobile-notifications#enabling-push-notifications-for-self-hosted-servers)
whether push notifications have been set up. If they were set up recently,
you will need to [log out](/help/logging-out) of your account.
1. [Log in](/help/logging-in) to the account you want to test.
1. Ask *another* user (not yourself) to [send you a direct
message](/help/starting-a-new-direct-message). You should see a Zulip message
notification in the **notifications area** on your device.
{end_tabs}
## Troubleshooting mobile notifications
### Checking your device settings
Some Android vendors have added extra device-level settings that can impact the
delivery of mobile notifications to apps like Zulip. If you're having issues
with Zulip notifications on your Android phone, we recommend Signal's excellent
[troubleshooting guide](https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007318711-Troubleshooting-Notifications#android_notifications_troubleshooting),
which explains the notification settings for many popular Android vendors.
### Enabling push notifications for self-hosted servers
!!! warn ""
These instructions do not apply to Zulip Cloud organizations (`*.zulipchat.com`).
To enable push notifications for your organization, your server administrator
will need to register your Zulip server with the [Zulip mobile push notification
service](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/production/mobile-push-notifications.html).

email to [Zulip support](/help/contact-support). Please be sure to include the
troubleshooting data provided by the mobile app.
