@help What’s the method to enable notifications if it doesn’t have a notification option in Settings? cc: @vincent

Two smartphone screens display settings. The left screen shows app permissions for Micro.blog, including Photos and Cellular Data toggles. The right screen shows Micro.blog settings, with browser, post options, and push notifications settings.

@jarrod Settings -> Notifications -> Micro.blog

@dvdlite I checked there too, but Micro.blog wasn’t listed. But I did just get a prompt from the app. Not sure what instigated it.

@jarrod weird, it’s there for me. iOS 18.1 and micro.blog version 3.3.1. Maybe it doesn’t show up until the first time it tries a notification?

@dvdlite That’s my guess. But I feel like toggling on that setting in Micro.blog should initiate the prompt either way. Otherwise you’re set on a goose chase until you happen to receive a mention.

@jarrod @dvdlite I wonder if this is an iOS beta bug. When you navigate to the Mentions tab, it should have prompted you. And if you declined, it should still show up in your device settings... hmmm. Perhaps try to uninstall the app?

@jarrod @dvdlite Also, for what it's worth, you can't send a notification to a device that didn't opt-in — so there will never be an "initial" notification. I can try and see what I can do here with asking for permission. It depends on the circumstances, because iOS will also not trigger the permission prompt if you've previously declined...

@vincent It very well could be a beta bug, and I did get a prompt in the end and was able to enable notifications. Still haven’t actually received one for a mention yet, but I just toggled the setting here in the Micro.blog app to see if that gets things going again. Thanks for looking into it!

@jarrod OK, let me know if it persists... I am happy to look into it. The changes to the app we made should have fixed the push notification toggle... hopefully you will get this one?

@jarrod testing a mention for you as I had this problem for a while but flipping the toggle in MB app seemed to shake out the dust

@adamprocter @vincent No dice, unfortunately. I didn't get these. I'll try a restart and reinstalling the app. (Again, could be a beta 18.1 issue!)

@jarrod I didn’t even see this reply mind and I am not on the beta … so maybe my notifications are back to broke too
