Notification settings

Overview

In Account › Notifications, you can choose which notifications you get, who can @mention you, and whether you receive promotional messages.

Where to find it

Click your profile photo in the top-right corner, choose Account in the menu that opens, then choose Notifications in the menu on the left (on a phone-sized screen, in the tabs at the top). In the GenToon app, go to the Profile tab › Notifications — there, changes save as soon as you tap them.

Step by step

1. Under Notification types, turn off the notifications you don’t want. They’re all on at first, and include likes, comments, replies, mentions, follows, new posts, new episodes of series you’re reading, and character chat replies. If you turn off New episodes of series you're reading but follow the author, a new episode can still reach you as a New posts notification.

2. Under Who can @mention you, choose Everyone, People you follow, or No one. Mentions from people you don’t allow appear as plain text, without a notification.

3. Under Advertising messages, turn By email and By app notification on or off.

4. On the website, click Save to save your changes.

Browser notifications

On the same screen, turn on Get notifications in this browser under Browser notifications to get alerts for finished comics, comments, replies, mentions, and messages (including character chat replies) even with the GenToon tab closed, as long as your browser is open. Other alerts, such as likes and follows, aren’t sent to the browser, and if you get notifications in the GenToon app, they go to the app only. The first time, your browser asks whether to allow notifications — click “Allow.” This setting saves as soon as you click it.
