How to Set Notifications in the Canvas App-3

You can set notification preferences in the Canvas Student app to receive updates about your Canvas courses. Selected updates are push notifications, meaning notifications are sent to you even if you have not opened the Canvas Student app. You can choose to set notifications for specific contact methods, or you can set notifications for all devices.

1) On the Dashboard, tap the Menu icon.

2) Tap the Settings icon.

3) Toggle the Enable Push Notifications button.

After push notifications are enabled, the Enable Push Notifications button is replaced by the Allow Notifications in Settings link.

4) To open notification settings in your iOS device, tap the Allow Notifications in Settings link.

5) Tap the Notification Preferences link.

6) Tap the communication channel where you want to set notifications.

7) If you want to set notifications for all your devices, tap the For All Devices option.

8) Notifications are organized into notification groups. By default, all notifications are turned on (toggle is on the right) [1]. Enabled notifications are sent ASAP. To disable notification, tap the slider (toggle will be on the left) [2]. Disabled notifications are never sent.
