Setup for iPhone and iPad Users¶
Important Setup Step
If you're using an iPhone or iPad, you must add the PickleTime web app to your Home Screen before you can enable Push Notifications.
Steps to add to Home Screen:
- Open PickleTime in Safari
- Tap the "Share" button (square with arrow pointing up)
- Select "Add to Home Screen"
- Tap "Add" to confirm
Once added to your Home Screen, you can then enable Push Notifications from within the app.
Enabling Push Notifications¶
After completing the setup (if on iOS), you can enable push notifications through your device's notification settings or directly within the PickleTime app when prompted.
Multiple Devices
Push notifications must be enabled separately for each device the member uses. If you access PickleTime on both your phone and tablet, you'll need to enable notifications on each device individually.
