# Turn on the Allow notifications feature

The **Allow notifications** feature enables Cerby to show notifications to inform you about important events for taking action and updates related to your accounts. If you didn’t turn it on at installation time, you can turn it on through the Cerby mobile settings.

To turn on the **Allow notifications** feature, you must complete the following steps:

1. Open the Cerby mobile app on your phone.
2. Log in to your Cerby workspace.
3. Tap the profile icon. The **My profile** screen is displayed.

5. Activate the **Allow notifications** switch to enable this feature.
   * On iOS, the **Change in Settings** window is displayed.

     2. Tap the **Notifications** option. The **Notifications** screen is displayed.
     3. Activate the **Allow Notifications** switch to enable it if it wasn’t previously enabled.
     4. Customize the notification options available on iOS. Read more about how to configure your iPhone notifications in the [official guide](https://support.apple.com/en-us/108781#:~:text=Go%20to%20Settings%20and%20tap,in%20the%20scheduled%20notification%20summary.).
