What is the red circle with a bell on it
It won't disappear when I touch it it asks me to subscribe to notifications
Which I don't have a problem with but how do I do it??
It's quite annoying that it's there all the time xxx

I clicked on it and subscribed and now I get a pop up telling me when there's a new post, like yours

It is the new notifications/alerts system I designed over the weekend to bring alerts to you. Without having to be on wlsurgery.

I've attached a screenshot of an alert I got because of your post!

Ooo I haven't had the option for this? Is there a way to do it through settings

iPhone?

 

[starryeyed]

Yep

 

[Pierce]

OK so iPhone..

Apple made the original technology or at least showed it off back in 2013.

Only in the last year has Google chrome and Firefox ( January this year). Implemented the technology and as you can see it is working.

If you use the safari browser on a Mac you will see the red bell.

But not on an iPhone.

As far as I can tell apple said in 2014 that it was on a 5 year plan to be done.

Many larger websites want this technology and have pressed apple to make it happen sooner than later.

So it is not yet available for an iPhone but as soon as it is it will be done.

Ios10 is coming out soon and apparently it has new notification features like being able to send pictures and video up to 50MB!!!! I just need to send a short line of text for the alert.

So going to have to wait and see.

Brilliant thank you

Best guess from industry leaders making this technology estimate late this year or early next year.... But don't quote me on it!!

 

[Tracey]

I understand what it does but when I click on the red bell and it says subscribe I'm touching that and nothing happens xxx
Will check my notifications are turned on xx

 

[Tracey]

I don't have WLsurgery as an app I created a short cut from website so is that why it's not working xx

 

[Pierce]

That's what it looks like when I tap on it.

Their may be caching issues I'll look into it

 

[Tracey]

Mine comes up like this ...

 

[Pierce]

I have dumped all the cache for this site to see if that is an issue.

Can you try now? Be sure to refresh the page by pulling down from the top

 

[Tracey]

No sorry pierce it's not working for me ...
Will have to get used to the red bell being on my page ....x

 

[Tracey]

I've done it ... don't know how but I have lol xxx
It still stays on my page tho even tho I've subscribed is that right xx

 

[Pierce]

It should be more faded/smaller when you are subscribed?

 

[Tracey]

Yes it is xxx
