Account administrators can set up configuration to receive push notifications on Android and iOS devices from [New Relic alerts](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts-applied-intelligence/new-relic-alerts/get-started/introduction-applied-intelligence). You can receive issue alerts from any workflow with a destination of [mobile push](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts-applied-intelligence/notifications/notification-integrations#mobile_push).

## Requirements [#requirements]

Users can set up a workflow with mobile push as a [destination](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts-applied-intelligence/notifications/notification-integrations#mobile_push).

## Turn notifications on or off [#enabling-alerts]

When you log in to your New Relic account from an Android or iOS app, your device is automatically associated with your user. Be sure to [add a destination of mobile push to the workflow](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts/get-notified/alert-event-workflows#add-workflow).

## View issue alert event details [#viewing-alerts]

The notification automatically appears on your device's lock screen. To start the New Relic app:

1.  Depending on your device, do the follwing:
    -   In Android devices, tap the notification from the notification drawer.
    -   In iOS devices, swipe the screen.
2.  From the New Relic app's **Alerts** menu, select any issue to view error details for the associated application.
3.  Optionally, select **Acknowledge**.
4.  Optionally, to view additional details, select **Overview**, **Alert events**, or **Issue log**.

## Troubleshoot alert settings [#troubleshooting]

If push notifications aren't working on your mobile device:

1.  Verify that you meet [the requirements](#requirements).
2.  Verify that [alerts are enabled](#enabling-alerts).
3.  Check your mobile device's [notification settings](#notification-settings), to ensure New Relic is permitted to send push notifications.

If the notification settings for your mobile device are correct, but you still do not receive notifications, [delete the device from your account](#account-delete), then [uninstall](#uninstall-app) and [reinstall](#reinstall-app) the New Relic application.
