How do I customize my notifications on Howbout?

You can manage your notification preferences in Settings, including event defaults, push notifications, and how often you hear from specific friends.

Notification types:

  • Morning summary — a rundown of your daily events at 08:00.
  • From the Howbout team — messages from the Howbout team to you.
  • Product announcements — new features and bug fixes.
  • Unseen updates from friends — get notified when there's a fresh batch of activity from friends you haven't seen yet.
  • Activity nudges — occasional reminders to update your friends.
  • Personalized updates — recommendations just for you.
