Stop the daily "New messages from…" email
If you get a daily email titled "📄 New messages from N conversations on StudyStream", that's the daily digest for missed messages. Two ways to turn it off:
- From the email itself: click the unsubscribe link at the bottom — no login needed.
- On the web: click your profile picture (top-right) → "Account settings" → under "Email communication", untick "Receive daily email digest for missed messages".
- On the mobile app: tap your profile picture (top-left) → "Settings" → "Communication preferences" → untick "Receive daily digest for missed messages".
Replying to the digest email won't deliver your reply to the person who messaged you — to reply, open the conversation in the app.
Push notifications (mobile)
You can choose exactly which pushes you get:
- On the web: profile picture (top-right) → "Account settings" → "Mobile notifications".
- On the mobile app: tap your profile picture (top-left) → "Settings" → "Communication preferences" → "Notifications".
Available toggles:
- Chat messages
- Someone has followed you
- Newsfeed reactions
- Newsfeed comments
- Losing your streak soon (a reminder before your streak day runs out)
- Someone you pinned previously is now streaming
To silence all push notifications from StudyStream, use your phone's system settings (iOS: Settings → Notifications → StudyStream; Android: Settings → Apps → StudyStream → Notifications).
The notification bell (web)
The bell at the top-right of the website collects activity on your posts and profile: comments, reactions and tags on your feed posts, reactions to your tile messages, pin reasons and replies to them, and new followers. Chat messages aren't in the bell; they show on the Chats icon and the Conversations badge instead. Closing the panel marks what you've seen as read. "Mute for 1 day" only hides the unread badge for 24 hours; it doesn't stop anything else. The app has no bell; it gets push notifications instead (above).
Quiet Mode (web)
The crossed-out bell next to the Tasks icon is Quiet Mode: pick 30m, 1h, 2h, 6h or 12h and new chat messages won't pop up or make a sound for that long. The same menu has "Enable notifications now" to end it early. Details in Focus rooms: everything you can do.
Notification sounds (web)
On the web, click your profile picture (top-right) → "Account settings" → "Notification sound" to toggle the in-app sound for new messages.
