Hi! I’m Emily. I understand your First Alert 4 Weather app has stopped sending notifications. Let’s work together to get those alerts back to your Android device.
First, could you tell me if you have noticed this issue recently after any changes such as app updates, or if it’s been a gradual problem? Also, have you already checked whether notifications are enabled within the app?
Meanwhile, here are some initial steps we can try:
1. Open the First Alert 4 Weather app at least once every day. The app needs to be opened so it can refresh your location and update alerts properly. Sometimes if the app isn’t launched, old alerts are held onto instead of receiving new ones1.
2. Check the app’s notification settings: - Open the First Alert 4 Weather app. - Tap the list icon (three lines) in the bottom-right corner. - Tap the three-dot menu to open settings. - Verify that push notifications or alerts are enabled.
3. Ensure your Android notifications for the app are turned on: - Open your device’s Settings. - Go to Apps & notifications. - Find and tap First Alert 4 Weather. - Select Notifications. - Make sure notifications are allowed and not blocked.
4. Check system Wireless Emergency Alerts: - Go to Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings > Wireless emergency alerts. - Ensure alerts and severe weather notifications are enabled.
5. Clear the app cache and data to refresh settings: - Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > First Alert 4 Weather > Storage & cache. - Tap Clear cache, then Clear storage/data. - Log back in if necessary.
6. Update the app via Google Play Store if an update is available. Sometimes updates fix notification bugs.
7. Restart your phone after these changes to ensure all settings take effect.
If you have already tried some of these steps or if notifications still don’t come through, please let me know. We can then dig deeper or consider reinstalling the app.
Are you able to follow these steps? I’m here to help walk you through any of them!
