Clearing notifications on phone



Recommended Posts

Since downloading the latest upgrade to the app on my iPhone, I can't figure out how to "clear" notifications (the number in the red bubble next to the app's pic). They just keep accumulating. How can I clear them? Thanks!

I can't get rid of mine either and it is hurting my brain. I tried turning off notifications and it not showing new ones but I still have a bajillion that won't clear.

Me too! I thought about turning notifications off all together since I get emails when someone replies to a topic I've participated in. So annoying!

On the new app there is a little star. It's yellow if you have participated, if you click the star it will turn off the notifications for that post.

Thanks! The annoying part is though that I've only participated in 10-15 topics, but the red icon on the app itself (for iPhones anyway) says that I have 69 notifications. Every day it grows. But when I go into the app I can't find anywhere that 69 things are trying to get my attention. I don't know if this is what everyone else is talking about, but that's what I'm dealing with. post-270833-14568709102955_thumb.jpg

@@RoadToMe that's how many people that have liked your post or quoted what you've posted. On the opening page there is 3 lines to the top right of the screen. If you click that and go down to notifications and select the "bell" it should clear that number.

eTA. You can also turn off notifications in your app settings on you phone.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
