2. A menu will appear, select Settings.
   
3. Select Notifications and set up the different notifications under each heading.
   

If you’ve chosen to receive a notification via email – please note that you will unfortunately not receive this notification if you are signed in or have the application open in the background. This is because you are considered as active and will therefore only receive notifications in the application.
