In order to see important announcements and updates right away, you must have your notifications for Playground enabled. This guide shows you how to turn on notifications for iOS and Android devices.


For iOS device

Navigate to your device's settings and scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen, where your downloaded apps are listed alphabetically. Find "Playground" and tap it to access the Playground Settings screen.

Find the "Notifications" tile. If you see "Off" below the tile name, as seen in the screenshot on the left, tap on the tile to reach the Notifications settings screen. Toggle "Allow Notifications" on—the button will turn green and more notification settings options will appear.

When your notifications are turned on, your Playground Settings screen will look like the screenshot on the right—the "Notifications" tile now reads "Banners, Sounds, Badges."


For Android

Navigate to your device's settings and scroll to the "Apps" tile on the Settings screen; then scroll down to and tap the "Playground" tile. You'll be brought to the Playground Settings screen.

Find the "Notifications" tile. If you see "Blocked" below the tile name, as seen in the screenshot on the left, tap on the tile to reach the App notifications screen. Toggle "Show notifications" on—the tile and the toggle button will turn blue.

When your notifications are turned on, your Playground Settings screen will look like the screenshot on the right—the "Notifications" tile now reads "Allowed."
