[ARCHIVED] Register for Push Notifications on Mobile

[22thyde]

I recently downloaded Canvas Student App on my Samsung Galaxy A10 so I can use it to access schoolwork for the COV-19 shutdown, but it has been frustrating not getting notifications when my teachers post an assignment or grade something. I have gone into settings and there is a tab that says "Push Notifications" but when I push on it, a message comes up saying "Push Notifications have not been registered for this device". I have even gone to the online website using a laptop to see if I can register there, but the only options are for email notifications. How do I register Push Notifications for mobilie?

I see this has been sitting around for a while. I wanted to see if you found a fix for this issue?

Hey Ryan, I appreciate someone finally getting back to me on this. I know that school is over, but it would still be useful for next year. I still plan on using the canvas app to keep my school work organized for next year, and push notifications would be very useful.

It looks like this question has not been answered yet....

Having our students set up proper notifications is one of the very first things that I do with them after during Student Orientation.  In order to push notifications to your mobile device, you will need to register your phone with Canvas.  It's pretty simple actually.  After you register your phone with Canvas, Canvas will send a verification code to your phone, which you will enter on the site and voila!  You will now receive notifications.
