# Setting Up Push Notifications

This article covers how to turn on push notifications so you never miss an update or a word of encouragement.

## What push notifications are

Push notifications are the little alerts that appear on your phone — a new post from a missionary you follow, a comment on your update, or a prayer from a supporter. They keep you connected without having to open the app to check.

## Turning them on

1. Open the CordLine app on your phone.
2. When the app asks for permission to send notifications, tap **Allow**.
3. That's it — you'll start receiving alerts.

## If you said no the first time

If you tapped "Don't allow" earlier, you can still turn notifications on from your phone's settings:

1. Open your phone's **Settings**.
2. Find **CordLine** in your list of apps.
3. Tap **Notifications** and turn them on.
4. Reopen CordLine so it can register your device.

## Choosing what you're notified about

Once notifications are on, you can fine-tune exactly which ones you get — new posts, comments, prayers, and more — from your notification settings inside CordLine. See our article on managing your notification preferences.

## Notifications on more than one device

If you use CordLine on more than one phone or tablet, turn on notifications on each device you want to be alerted on.

## A tip

If notifications ever stop arriving, open the app once — that helps it re-register your device — and check that they're still allowed in your phone's settings.
