Notifications help you stay on top of booking requests, client messages, and anything that needs your attention in the PAH! app. 

 

  
**✨ Why it matters:**

When your notifications are working, you’ll never miss:

✅ A new booking opportunity

✅ A message from a Deaf client

✅ An important update from PAH!

 

**📲 How to turn on notifications:**

 

This part depends on your device:

- **iPhone (Apple):** Go to *Settings > Notifications > PAH!* → Make sure **Allow Notifications** is turned ON.
- **Android:** Go to *Settings > Apps > PAH! > Notifications* → Enable notifications.

This is the same way you’d manage notifications for most other apps.

  
**👀 How to *view* your notifications:**

 

Once notifications are enabled, you’ll see red badges inside the app:

- A red badge on the *Messages* icon = a new message
- A red badge on the *Notifications* icon = a new booking or app update
- A red dot on the app icon = something needs your attention

Tap the relevant icon in the bottom navigation bar to view what’s new.

 

  
**📬 How to *track* what you’ve read (and what you haven’t):**

 

Inside the *Notifications* tab, you’ll see two views:

- **Unread:** Only notifications you haven’t opened yet
- **All:** Everything you’ve received in one place

You can also **slide a notification left** and tap **"Mark as unread"** if you want to come back to it later.

  
**📌 Note:**

 

We’re constantly improving! Be sure to update your app regularly for the best notification experience.
