Notification Types

The in-app notification settings screen lets you configure two categories:

A master Turn Off All toggle disables all push notifications at once regardless of the individual category settings.

3. Tap Notification.
4. The Notification Settings screen opens.

Configuring Like Notifications

1. On the Notification Settings screen, find the Likes section.
2. Choose one option by tapping the circle next to it:

   • From everyone — notified for every like on your posts
3. Your choice saves automatically.

Configuring Comment Notifications

1. On the Notification Settings screen, find the Comments section.
2. Choose one option:

Turning Off All Notifications

1. On the Notification Settings screen, tap the circle next to Turn Off All.
2. Both Likes and Comments are immediately set to Off.
3. To re-enable notifications, deselect Turn Off All and then pick your preferred option for each category.

In-App Event Notifications

Separate from push notification settings, Give River also shows in-app popup notifications for certain events — such as earning a badge, receiving a sticker, getting a gift, or being invited to a group. These are delivered by Ugo, the platform mascot. See the Ugo Mascot article for details.

Notification Settings on Web

The Notification Settings page is now fully themed on the web app — typography, colors, and toggle controls match the rest of the web UI in both light and dark mode. The settings themselves are the same as on mobile.

Email Notifications

Push notifications (covered here) are separate from email notifications. To manage your email notification preferences, see the Email Notification Preferences article.
