This note describes the process needed to enable or disable receiving of notifications sent by Pigeon, after the initial permission prompt, which is requested immediately after the first successful login.
Notifications are typically displayed to the user, whenever a new message from a non-muted chat is received.
After the first successful login, Pigeon will request for notification permissions. Regardless of your selection, subsequent logins will not request for permissions again, and will adhere to your preference as selected.
If you wish to change your preferences, it may not be immediately obvious as to how to do so, since watchOS structures notification preferences very differently from iOS or macOS.
In order to disable notifications, there must be at least one Pigeon notification in the Notification Centre of the Apple Watch.
Note: You may also disable Pigeon notifications via the Watch app on your paired iPhone, if you have re-enabled notifications in the past. Refer to Enabling Notifications, for reasons and how to do so.
The iPhone that is paired to the Apple Watch, is required, as it is not possible to enable notifications directly from watchOS.
You will also see a Notification Grouping option here. As Pigeon handles the grouping internally via our own in-app settings, it is recommended that you continue to set to Automatically, in order to prevent unexpected situations.
