iPhone: Focus Mode
The key point here is to add Follow Up Boss in the focus mode you want to allow notifications to be sent, and you don't miss anything important! When Follow Up Boss is not added to the list of allowed apps, notifications from FUB will not appear as an alert and will silently be added to Notification Center.
1. Go to your iPhone Settings > Focus
2. Click the + Symbol in the upper right-hand corner to add a focus mode
3. Choose Custom for the focus mode type
4. Name Your Focus (optional: choose color and image) > Done > Customize Focus
5. Under Apps, select the Follow Up Boss App
6. Click Done > Back > Focus and the Follow Up Boss Focus will be available
Android: Enabling Push Notifications
1. Go to Android Settings
2. Select Apps > Follow Up Boss
3. Select Notifications
4. Allow Notifications > Allow sound and vibration > Enable all Notification Types (lock screen, badge, pop-up)
The above menu UI may vary depending on your specific Android device. If you tap on the respective menu option IE "Actions" > "Sound," you can set custom notification tones. (Verified on Google Pixel 4+ devices).
Android: Sleeping Apps
Add Follow Up Boss to the Never Sleeping Apps to ensure push notifications from FUB are always delivered.
- Go to Settings > Battery > Background usage limits > Never auto sleeping apps > + symbol > Follow Up Boss > Add.
