Work through the section for your device. Most missing reminders come down to a permission or a battery setting.
On every device
- Check that the task really has a reminder, at the time you expect.
- Make sure the device is not in Do Not Disturb or a focus mode.
Android
- Allow notifications for ForDaily in the phone’s Settings.
- Allow alarms and reminders when ForDaily asks. Without it, Android may deliver a reminder late.
- Exclude ForDaily from battery optimisation. Some phones stop apps in the background to save power.
iPhone and iPad
- In Settings, open Notifications, then ForDaily, and allow them.
- Check that a Focus is not hiding them.
Windows
- In Windows Settings, open System, then Notifications, and allow ForDaily.
- Check that Do Not Disturb is off.
In the browser
- Allow notifications for app.getfordaily.com when the browser asks, or in the site settings next to the address.
- A browser can only show a reminder while it is able to run in the background. For reliable reminders, install the app or the web app.
Still nothing
Write to us with your device model and the time the reminder should have arrived.
