# Phone notifications

> Which notices guito sends to your iPhone, when they arrive, and how to turn them on or off.

In the iPhone app, guito can notify you on the phone itself when a bank connection needs you. Phone notifications go along with the [emails](/en/account/email-notifications): each notice has a phone switch, separate from its email switch. Choose what you receive in **Profile -> Settings -> Notifications**, under **On this phone**. Phone notifications are not available on Android yet.

## Turn on notifications

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open notifications">
    In the mobile app, open **Profile -> Settings -> Notifications**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Allow notifications">
    Under **On this phone**, tap **Turn on notifications** and allow them when your phone asks. Your phone asks only once.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If you declined, the section shows **Notifications are off**. Tap that row to open your phone's settings and allow guito's notifications.

## Which notices you receive

Both are on by default. Tapping a notice opens the connection in the app, where you can renew it.

| Notice | When it arrives |
| - | - |
| **Expiring bank connections** | A week before a bank's authorization expires, and on the day. If the authorization of several banks expires on the same day, you get a single notice. |
| **Bank to reconnect** | When a bank stops syncing and asks for a new authorization. You get one notice when that happens, not one for every sync that fails. |

## What notifications show

Your lock screen is visible to other people. That's why guito's notifications never show amounts, balances, account numbers, or the bank's name. For example: "The connection to one of your banks expires in 7 days." The details appear in the app after you tap the notice.

## At night

On iPhone, between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. (mainland Portugal time), notifications arrive silently: they don't make a sound or light up the screen, and they wait for you in Notification Center. When notifications come to Android, they follow your phone's sound settings at any hour.

## Turn off a notice

Turn off the notice's switch in **Profile -> Settings -> Notifications**, under **On this phone**. Turning off a notice on your phone doesn't turn off the email for the same notice, and the other way around. To stop all of guito's notifications on your phone, turn them off in your phone's settings.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I stopped getting notifications after I signed out. Is that normal?">
    Yes. When you sign out, the phone stops receiving that account's notifications. It receives them again when you sign back in, as long as notifications are still allowed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I rarely open the app. Will I still get the notices?">
    Yes. Your phone keeps receiving notices as long as the app is installed and you're signed in, even if you don't open it for months. It stops only if you don't open the app for more than 200 days, and starts again when you open it.
