Silence Audible Alert Push Notifications

Temporarily Turning off the Alert Sounds

If you need a break from the sounds of the alert push notifications, this is how you manage your settings to receive them silently for 1, 8 or 24 hours. On the following screenshots, the step-by-step directions will be highlighted in purple.

Step 1.

From the home screen, go to Settings (the gear icon in the upper right corner).

Step 2.

Click on “Notifications.”   

Step 3.

Click “On” Allow Notifications.

Step 4.

Click on the highlighted black circle with an “i” to see a brief description of “Silent Push Notifications.”

Step 5.

When done reading, select “Close” at the bottom.

Step 6.

Select the amount of time that you'd like to silence notifications. When you do so, you will see an “Updating…” icon on your screen.

Step 7.

In this case, “8 Hours” has been selected.  Make sure this is the time period you want alerts to be silenced. Otherwise, click the time period you want alerts to be silenced for.

Step 8.

If you decide you don’t want to silence alerts after all, click “Cancel” and it will be undone.

Step 9.

When you are done, click on the highlighted “Close” on the bottom to get back to Notifications.

Step 10.

Clicking on either the highlighted arrow on top or the close button on the bottom will take you back to the app home screen.

You have now silenced the alerts for a specific time period.

Please note, even though the audible push notifications selected to be silent for a certain number of hours, you will no longer hear them for that specific period, but you will still receive the alerts silently.  If you look at the app during that period, you will see alerts appearing on your screen.
