Notifications

B1 Mobile uses push notifications to keep you informed about what is happening at your church. Instead of having to open the app to check for updates, important information comes to you automatically.

Before You Begin

What You Will Be Notified About​

Notifications can cover a range of activity, including:

  • Messages -- When someone sends you a private message.
  • Group activity -- Updates, posts, and conversations from groups you belong to.
  • Serving assignments -- When you are assigned to a plan or when your assignment status changes.
  • Other updates -- General announcements and activity relevant to you.

Viewing Your Notifications​

  1. Tap the bell icon in the top-right corner of the app, or tap the Notifications option in the navigation.
  2. The notifications screen shows all of your recent notifications in a tabbed view, organized so you can quickly find what you are looking for.

Each notification includes a brief summary of the update. Tap on any notification to go directly to the relevant content -- for example, tapping a message notification opens the conversation, and tapping a serving notification takes you to the plan.

Removing Notifications​

You can clear notifications once you have read them so your list stays focused on what is new.

  • Delete a single notification -- Tap the trash icon on the right side of any notification row to remove just that item.
  • Clear all notifications -- Tap Clear All at the top of the notifications list to remove every notification at once. You will be asked to confirm before everything is cleared.

Removing a notification only affects your view; it does not change the underlying activity (the message, plan, or group post is still there). If you have notifications enabled on multiple devices, clearing on one device will sync across the others.

Push Notifications​

B1 Mobile sends push notifications to your device so you receive updates even when the app is not open. To receive push notifications, make sure you have allowed notifications for B1 Mobile in your device settings.

Enabling Push Notifications​

  • iOS -- Go to Settings > Notifications > B1 Mobile and toggle Allow Notifications on.
  • Android -- Go to Settings > Apps > B1 Mobile > Notifications and make sure notifications are enabled.
warning

If you are not receiving notifications, check your device settings to make sure they are enabled. Also confirm that you are logged in to the app, since notifications are tied to your account.

tip

You can manage notification preferences at the device level. If you find notifications too frequent, adjust your device settings to control how and when alerts appear.
