App notifications play a crucial role in keeping you in the loop with your R&M requests. If you're using an Android phone, configuring notifications to work when your screen is locked, unlocked, and even during 'Do Not Disturb' mode is key. In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple steps to ensure you never miss an important update.
Step 1: Locate and Open 'Settings'
The 'Settings' app is the control center for your Android device. Look for the gear-shaped icon, usually found on the home screen or in the app drawer. Once located, tap on it to open the 'Settings' menu.
Step 2: Navigate to 'Apps' or 'Apps & Notifications'
Inside the 'Settings' menu, you may find various options depending on your device's manufacturer and Android version. Look for either 'Apps' or 'Apps & Notifications' and tap on it to access the list of installed applications.
Step 3: Locate the 86 Repairs App
Scroll through the list of apps until you find the one for which you want to enable notifications. Once you've located the app, tap on it to open the detailed settings.
Step 4: Enable Notifications
Look for an option that allows notifications on the lock screen. Depending on your Android version, this option might be labeled differently, such as 'On lock screen' or 'Show on lock screen.' Toggle this switch to enable notifications when your phone screen is locked.
Additionally, you may find an option to show notifications while the phone is unlocked. Activate this setting to ensure you receive alerts even when actively using your device.
Step 5: Select the Pop-Up Style
Some Android devices allow you to choose the style of pop-up notifications. To access this feature, return to the app's notification settings and look for an option related to notification style or pop-up style. Depending on your device, you might have choices like banners, heads-up, or full-screen pop-ups. Select the style that best suits your preferences. Banners provide a subtle notification at the top of the screen, heads-up notifications briefly appear at the top without interrupting your current activity, and full-screen pop-ups ensure you don't miss any details. Experiment with these styles to find the one that complements your usage.
Step 6: Configure 'Do Not Disturb' Settings
To enable notifications during 'Do Not Disturb' mode, navigate back to the app's notification settings. Look for a 'Do Not Disturb' or 'Override Do Not Disturb' option, depending on your device. Turn on this feature to receive notifications even when your phone is set to 'Do Not Disturb' mode.
