Set up your iPhone

Turn on notifications

Get reminders on your iPhone, even during Focus, and test them.

  1. 1

    In iPlanFamily

    Settings → Notifications → turn on Push, then tap Allow. This phone then shows “iPhone · On”.

  2. 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. 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. 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.
