## Mobile notifications while online
|
|
|
|
You can customize whether or not Zulip will send mobile push
|
|
notifications while you are actively using one of the Zulip apps.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
{tab|desktop-web}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|notifications}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Mobile message notifications**, toggle
|
|
**Send mobile notifications even if I'm online**, as desired.

|
## 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.
|
|
|
|

|
## 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).
|
|
|
|
#### Check whether notifications have been set up on your Zulip server
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{tab|mobile}
|
|
|
|
{!mobile-profile-menu.md!}
|
|
|
|
1. Tap **Settings**.
|
|
|
|
1. Tap **Notifications**. If notifications have not been set up, you will see a
|
|
banner that indicates this.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
### Contacting Zulip support
|
|
|
|
If you are still having trouble with your push notifications, you can send an
|
|
email to [Zulip support](/help/contact-support). Please be sure to include the
|
|
troubleshooting data provided by the mobile app.
