Push notifications can help you stay on top of your fasting plan. If you have push notifications enabled on your device, and you have turned on push notifications in Simple, you will never miss alerts related to fasting, eating, staying hydrated and updating your weight journal, as well as notifications reminding you to keep up with new educational articles.
🤔 Where can I find my push notifications settings?

To receive push notifications, you first need to enable them in your operating system settings. You can find how to do that on iOS devices here, and also here for Android devices.
