How it works

  • Events — Reminders before events you have signed up for, and alerts about new events in your city
  • Perks — New perks and limited-time offers from brand partners
  • Bills — Payment reminders, meter reading prompts, and billing updates (UK only)
  • Roomie — New match suggestions and responses to your roommate requests
  • Rideshare — Booking requests, confirmations, and messages from drivers or passengers

Managing Notifications

  1. Go to your Profile settings in the app
  2. Open notification preferences
  3. Toggle individual notification types on or off based on what you want to receive
  4. Push notifications require granting permission when you first install the app — you can change this in your phone’s settings at any time

Where it lives — Mobile App

Push notifications are a mobile app feature. The website does not send push notifications.

Regional availability — UK and US

Notification types are the same across both markets, except for bills-related notifications which are UK only.
