Customize the app notification styles

This documentation article delves into the distinctions between customizing app notification styles for iOS and Android devices. We will guide you on how to adjust notifications to be brief or mode detailed based on your operating system.

iOS

Software-based settings for app notifications on iOS mobile devices override user-defined settings. This means that if a user wants to change the appearance of notifications from a specific app, their options will be limited. This ensures a consistent look of notifications from different apps on the device. iOS users can typically only adjust general notification settings for all apps on their device, such as sound and vibration.

Android

On Android, users have more control over app notifications. They can override the developer's settings and choose a brief format, even if the app is designed to show detailed notifications or vice versa. Consequently, the final notification style is always determined by the user's device settings.

Managing notification settings on a mobile device varies depending on the specific device. Generally, the user navigates in the app Settings > Notifications. Next, adjusts the display notifications format settings for a specific app.
