How Notifications Work

Notification is a message that pops up in a heads up manner on devices such as cell phones, laptops, and computers. It will help you know about the latest news or updates from the websites or applications you have previously subscribed to. You can change the setting very easily anytime in a few steps. 

When the websites you’re browsing are intrusive or misleading, Chrome will automatically block notifications or ask your permission to turn them off. In addition, you won’t receive notifications when you’re browsing in the incognito mode.

1. Log in your Textr Team account. 
2. Click the account icon at the top right corner.
3. Turn on the “Enable Notification Sound” button.
