I want to disable Notifications from all of my apps on my iOS device
If you're interested in reducing the number of Notifications you receive from other apps on your iOS device, you will need to exit Opal and navigate to your device "Settings" - "Notifications." Once there, you may customise your Notifications for the apps installed on your iOS device. For more information, please head here.
I want to receive Notifications for an app on my iOS device that is in a Schedule, Time Limit, or Open Limit! Why don't you have that option?
It is intentional design that any app subjected to an active Schedule, Time Limit, Open Limit, Session, or Timer is unable to send you Notifications. You'll need to wait until that Rule ends to receive Notifications from that app.
How do I receive a notification prior to my subscription renewal via the AppStore?
If you’d like to receive a notification prior to your AppStore trial converting to a subscription, you must have notifications enabled within Opal.
