Set up your iPhone
Turn on notifications
Get reminders on your iPhone, even during Focus, and test them.
- 1
In iPlanFamily
Settings → Notifications → turn on Push, then tap Allow. This phone then shows “iPhone · On”.
- 2
In iPhone Settings
Settings → Notifications → iPlanFamily: turn on Allow Notifications and Time Sensitive Notifications. If Notification Summary is on, set iPlanFamily to Immediate Delivery.
- 3
Focus (School, Sleep, Work)
Settings → Focus → choose the Focus → Apps → add iPlanFamily. Or leave it out, and notifications wait until that Focus ends.
- 4
Test it
Settings → Notifications → Send a test notification. Lock the phone and check that it buzzes.
Still nothing? Open iPlanFamily once while signed in, check steps 1 to 3 again, then restart the phone.
Alerts and medicine reminders are Time Sensitive, so with step 2 they can come through a Focus. Routine nudges wait.
