Turn on notifications

Notifications are off until you turn them on, on each device by itself. KUVRT never asks when a page opens.

1. Tap "Turn on notifications" on the "Finish your setup" card, or open Settings, then "Notifications".
2. Turn on "Show notifications". Open Notifications
3. Allow it when the browser asks.

It says "Blocked in the browser - here is how to allow it again"? The browser kept an earlier no. Open the browser's site settings for KUVRT, allow notifications, then reload KUVRT.

Under "What a notification shows" you choose:

• "Name and message": who wrote and what. Anyone near your screen can read it.
• "Name only": who wrote. This is where it starts, because your device keeps notifications in a history of its own.
• "New message only": nothing about who or what.

While KUVRT is locked, a notification says only "New message".

"Sound while KUVRT is open" plays a sound for a new message while you have KUVRT open.

A notification carries no content over the internet. Your device fills in the name and the message.

A silent notification from KUVRT that says "Up to date" means KUVRT checked for messages and found nothing new to show, for example after you wrote from another of your devices. It makes no sound, and the next one replaces it.
