If you’re not receiving push notifications, there's likely something preventing them in your cell phone settings. Follow the steps below to resolve this:
- App Permissions: Verify that the Tractive GPS app has permission to send push notifications. You can check this by going to your phone's settings and looking for the app under Notifications.
- Internet Connection: Check if your phone is connected to the internet (either via a data connection or WiFi). Push notifications require an internet connection to be delivered.
- Do Not Disturb mode is disabled.
- For iOS users: If you’re using the Focus feature, please select to Allow Notifications from the Tractive GPS app. This way, you’ll continue to receive notifications about your pet regardless of which Focus you’re using.
- Check third-party apps: such as Clean Master or Security Master, are not blocking notifications from the Tractive GPS app.
- Battery saving mode: also known as battery optimization, battery saver, or low power mode is deactivated. . (Android / iOS)
- Phone’s software version: If the issue is not specific to the Tractive app but to all apps, check your phone's software version and see if there are any updates available.
