Xbox app friend list notifications

To check the system notification settings for the Xbox app, follow these steps (steps may vary depending on your device):

On your mobile device, go to the main Settings menu.

Look for the section or category related to notifications or apps.

Scroll down and locate the Xbox app in the list of installed apps.

Tap on the Xbox app to access its notification settings.

Ensure that notifications are allowed or enabled for the Xbox app.

If you still can't find the notification settings within the system settings, it's possible that the Xbox app doesn't have separate notification controls and relies on the default notification settings of your device.

If you have already verified that notifications are enabled for the Xbox app in your device's settings, and you're still not receiving friend notifications, it's likely a technical issue with the app itself.

Hi,

We would like to know if you are referring to the notification settings on the Xbox app. These are the settings that you can change on the Xbox app notifications. You can do this by going to Xbox app>Settings>Notifications.

Notifications - The following items can be adjusted:

• Favorite online (notifies you when favorite friends are online).
• Twitch broadcast started (notifies you when favorite friends start broadcasting).
• Message (notifies you when you get a new message).

If you are referring to the notification of the Xbox Live from the control center is currently not available. We recommend that you submit or send this as a suggestion feature for the Xbox app. You may submit this request to our Xbox Feedback Hub. To do
this, you may refer to the link below:

Hello,

I am curious if there is a way to get a notification on my IPHONE when my son turns on the XBOX. Plus I would not want him to circumvent this measure either. The Microsoft parental controls are good, but I would really like to get a notification in real
time when he uses the XBOX.

Thanks

on android u can turn on/off notifications for individual apps, idk if u can do that with !phone. but if u can enable notifications for the xbox app have ur son on ur friends list and favorites on ur friends list. u should get a notification on ur phone
anytime he logs in on his account regardless of what console he signs Into and will also tell u which game he is playing. but u also have to have his xbox account privacy settings set up to where his friend (which would be you as long as it on his friends
list) can seen him get online and see what games he's playing. if his account is set up to not allow his friends to see this then u will not get notifications. it works for me for several of my friends but I have a note 4 and note 8

Hi, Lazydaydreamer! Thank you for reaching out.

Considering you are receiving notifications for both when your friends come online and when they start streaming, it's likely they are set as favorites in your friends list.

For your reference, this is the description for favorite friends on Xbox:

"Favorite friends are listed first in your friends lists. You will see when they are online or live streaming."

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent only the 2nd notification from popping up, as the reason why you get it is the same for the 1st notification.

------------------

There are two ways to stop receiving these notifications:

1) Edit friendship:

- Go to your friend's profile, select "Change Friendship" and select "Friend" from the list of available options. This will prevent you from receiving both the 1st and 2nd

2) Change your notification settings:

- Go to Settings > Preferences > Notifications > Xbox Notifications > Friends, and uncheck the box for "Friend notifications on"
* Please note that this will disable notifications for all friends, not just your favorites.

-----

Alternatively, some things that could work for you are:

- Disabling notifications banners only at Settings > Preferences > Notifications
- Changing the default notification position at Settings > Preferences > Notifications
- Or mute the notification alert sound by going to Settings > General > Volume and audio output > Additional options.

------------------

Please let me know if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help.
Best regards.

You only receive that notification if that Xbox user is on your friends list.
