VocaLingo sends push notifications for practice reminders, completed video jobs and other in-app events. This article explains what you receive and how to enable notifications.
What notifications you receive
Practice reminders: reminders you set through AI Chat (for example, "Remind me to study at 8pm")
Video translation ready: when a long Translate Video job finishes in the background
Video to Text ready: when transcription finishes after you started a job in How Video to Text works. Tap the notification to open the result.
Download ready: when a link import finishes while the app is in the background (for example, a video downloaded for Video to Text or Translate Video)
Chat replies: if you leave the app while a chat message is being processed, you may receive a notification when the reply is ready
Checking notification status
Go to Profile at the bottom of the screen.
Tap Settings.
Tap Notifications.
The status shows: Enabled, Disabled or Not configured.
Enabling notifications
If notifications are disabled, enable them in your device settings:
iOS: Settings → VocaLingo → Notifications → toggle Allow Notifications on.
Android: Settings → Apps → VocaLingo → Notifications → enable.
Web: allow notifications when the browser prompts you.
ℹ️ The app cannot request notification permission a second time if you previously denied it on mobile. Enable it manually in device settings.
