Reminders aren’t arriving

Reminders need three switches to be on. Check them in this order.

1. The habit’s reminder

Open the habit, tap Edit habit, and make sure Remind me is on with the time you expect. How the time is picked is in Set up reminders.

2. Reminders in BeHabit

Settings › Reminders must be on. It turns all reminders on or off.

3. Notifications for BeHabit on your phone

If BeHabit shows “Notifications are off for Behabit”, allow them in your phone’s settings:

• iPhone: Settings › Notifications › BeHabit › Allow Notifications.
• Android: Settings › Apps › BeHabit › Notifications.

Still quiet?

• Reminders are silent by design (no sound or badge), so look for the banner or in Notification Center.
• A place reminder needs Always location access, so it can fire while BeHabit is closed.
• A Focus mode (iPhone) or Do Not Disturb can hold notifications back. Allow BeHabit in that Focus if you want reminders during it.
• Some Android phones stop apps in the background to save battery. Allowing BeHabit to run without battery restrictions can help.
• A reminder is cancelled once you tick the habit off that day. That habit’s reminders come back the next time you open BeHabit on a later day, so open the app now and then.
• Archived habits don’t send reminders. See Archive, delete or reorder habits.
