How to control which notifications Ntripi sends

Updated 2026-09-01

The bell beside the gear on your profile is the whole list. Three kinds of notification can be switched off in Settings ▸ Notifications; the rest stay on because an unseen one cannot be acted on in time.

What will Ntripi notify me about?#

  • Someone asked to follow you, or started following you
  • Someone accepted your follow request (optional)
  • Someone rated one of your trips (optional)
  • Someone saved one of your trips (optional)
  • You were invited to edit a trip
  • You were given access to a trip
  • A moderation decision affected your content or account

Nothing else. There is no marketing, no re-engagement nudging, and no digest.

How do I switch some off?#

Settings ▸ Notifications has three switches: ratings, saves, and follow-accepted. Turning one off stops the notification being created at all, not merely hidden.

To silence everything, turn Ntripi's notifications off in your phone's own settings — see permissions.

Why can't I switch off the others?#

Follow requests, access grants and moderation decisions all need an answer from you within a useful window.

A follow request nobody sees is never answered. A trip someone shared with you is in no feed and no search, so a notice you did not get is access you never knew you had. And a moderation decision has an appeal window — silence there would cost you the appeal.

Why do some arrive late?#

Push delivery is best-effort everywhere: battery managers stop background processes, phones throttle, connections drop.

Ntripi therefore also checks for itself roughly once a minute while open, so the bell is right even when a push never arrived. If push is off or refused, that check is the only channel — and it still works.

Can I delete notifications?#

Yes, individually or all at once, with a few seconds to undo before it is final.

Deleting a moderation notice does not delete the decision — that stays on Settings ▸ Account status, along with the appeal button. Read notifications are cleared out after ninety days; unread ones stay longer, because they are your only record that something happened.
