Make Sure You're Getting App Notifications

If you don’t interact with your Code Purple app for a few months or your phone storage runs low, the app will be automatically placed in hibernation by Android and iPhone operating systems. This means you’ll be unable to receive push notifications until you reopen the app or take the following steps. 

iPhone Users

  • Open the “Settings” app.
  • Select “App Store.”
