Help! I signed up, but I’m not receiving notifications
If you followed the steps above but Mashable alerts remain suspiciously absent, don’t worry. A browser or device setting may be getting in the way.
1. Check your browser settings
Start by returning to Mashable.com and clicking the site information icon beside the URL. Make sure Notifications is set to Allow .
You can also check the notification permissions in your browser’s settings:
Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Notifications
Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Permissions > Notifications
Safari: Settings > Websites > Notifications
Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Notifications
Find Mashable and confirm that notifications are allowed.
2. Check your device settings
Your browser may have permission to send alerts while your computer is quietly blocking them.
On a Mac, open System Settings > Notifications . Select the browser you used to sign up, turn on Allow notifications , and choose Banners or Alerts as the notification style. On older versions of macOS, you may find these controls under System Preferences .
On a Windows PC, open Settings > System > Notifications . Make sure notifications are turned on for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or whichever browser you used.
3. Make sure notifications aren’t silenced
Finally, check whether a focus setting has put your alerts on mute.
On a Mac, open Control Center > Focus and make sure Do Not Disturb is turned off.
On Windows 11, go to Settings > System > Notifications and check that Do not disturb is disabled. If you’re using Windows 10, open Focus assist and make sure it is not set to Alarms only .
Once those settings are cleared, Mashable notifications should be free to make their grand entrance.
