# Get alerts on your phone

> Turn on push alerts on each phone and browser, choose which alerts reach you by the bell, email or push, and read them later.

ArmPOS can alert you when stock runs low, an online order arrives or a register closes short, on your phone or computer, even when ArmPOS is closed. By the end you will have alerts on and chosen which ones reach you.

## Turn on alerts on this device

Do this on each phone and browser where you want alerts.

1. **Click the bell** in the top bar. When this device can take alerts, the list opens with **Get alerts on this device**.
2. **Click Turn on.** Your browser asks to allow notifications: allow it. **Not now** hides the offer for a while.

*The bell offers alerts on each device that doesn't have them yet.*

You can also turn them on from [Notifications › My notifications](/app/notifications?tab=mine): **Push on this phone** has **Turn on**, and once on, **Send a test** and **Turn off**.

> **Note:** On an iPhone, add ArmPOS to your Home Screen first (Share, then Add to Home Screen), open it from there, and turn alerts on. If the browser says alerts are blocked, allow them for this site in the browser's settings, then turn them on again.

## Choose what reaches you

**My notifications** lists every kind of alert, grouped: **Online orders**, **Stock**, **Team**, **Your plan**, **Integrations** and **Me**. Each has a switch for **System** (the bell), **Email** and **Push** (this device and your others). Each switch saves as you change it. You see the alerts your role works with; the owner sees them all.

*Turn each kind of alert on or off for the bell, email and push separately.*

Some can't be turned off: a sign-in from a new device is always emailed, for your security.

## Read them later

Everything that reached the bell is kept in **Notifications › Inbox**: **All** or **Unread**, grouped by day. Tick some and use **Bulk actions** to mark them read or unread, or delete them.

![Notifications › Inbox: All and Unread (1), Select all, Bulk actions, and under Today a notification that a register was closed at Default Warehouse with a difference of $ -0.96, marked Unread.](https://armpos.online/storage/help/86e99c2e20-get-alerts-on-your-phone-3-inbox.webp)
*The inbox keeps every notification. Click one to open what it's about.*
