We use notifications to let you know when new episodes of your favourite shows are available. We’ll also suggest programmes we think you’ll like. Our suggestions come from what you love to listen to in the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Sounds app, and from how you interact with all our services linked to your Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ account.
How do notifications work for new episodes?
We will send a notification within 15 minutes of a new episode of a subscribed show becoming available on-demand. Tapping the notification will take you to the programme where you can select to listen to the latest episode.
If a new episode becomes available very late in the evening or overnight, we’ll send the notification in the morning to let you know.
How do I switch notifications on or off?
There’s a variety of options around where and how notifications are displayed on your phone or tablet. You can manage these on your device:
Amazon Fire: Go to Settings > Sounds and Notifications > Manage notifications > Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Sounds
Android: Go to Settings > Notifications > See all > Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Sounds
iOS: Go to Settings > Notifications > Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Sounds
Once you have enabled push notifications on the device, you can toggle them on and off in the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Sounds app. Tap on your initial on the top right of the homepage to access Settings, then select Notifications.
To stop getting notifications for a particular programme, you can unsubscribe to that programme. This won’t affect notifications for other subscribed shows, or recommendations.
Why am I not receiving notifications?
For new-episode notifications, check to make sure you’re subscribed to the show you’re interested in. For more information on subscribing, have a look here: How do I subscribe to a podcast or programme?
