Turning on push notifications
When you first open the BTS App, your phone will ask whether to allow notifications. Tap Allow to hear about replies, mentions, DMs, event reminders and lottery announcements.
If you tapped “Don't Allow,” you can turn them on later:
- iPhone: Settings > Notifications > Broken Tee Society > Allow Notifications
- Android: Settings > Apps > Broken Tee Society > Notifications
Choosing what you're notified about
In the app, open your profile menu and go to Notifications. There you can choose, by type, what reaches you by push, email or in-app only. Types include replies, mentions, new posts in spaces you follow, DMs and event reminders.
- Per space: in any space, click the three dots at the top of the space to open its settings, where you can follow or mute it. Mute busy chat spaces and stay alerted to your chapter.
- Per post: follow a post to get its replies, or unfollow a thread you no longer need.
- Email or in-app: choose whether notifications reach you by email, in the app, or both.
Community notification settings don't affect TGJ newsletters or membership emails. Those are managed through the unsubscribe link in each email.
Direct messages
- To start a DM, click a member's name and select Message.
- Group messages with several members work well for planning a round or chapter outing.
- Your DM inbox shows unread messages. You can mute a conversation if you don't need alerts for it.
- Please follow the BTS Community Guidelines in DMs too. No unsolicited selling.
Not getting notifications?
- Check that notifications are allowed for the app in your phone's settings, and that Focus or Do Not Disturb isn't on.
- Check your in-app notification preferences (above).
- Make sure the app is updated to the latest version.
- Sign out of the app and back in.
