Resolving notification issues for RosterElf's app on Android devices

Push notifications are critical for ensuring you receive timely updates about schedules and other key events in RosterElf's app. However, certain Android devices may block notifications due to battery optimisation settings. This guide explains how to adjust your device's settings to ensure RosterElf notifications are delivered consistently.

1. Understanding power-saving modes and their impact on RosterElf

Many Android devices use custom power-saving modes to improve battery life. These settings, common on devices by manufacturers like Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Oppo, can block apps from running in the background.

Why this matters for RosterElf users:

  • Schedule or shift changes may go unnoticed.
  • Notifications about attendance or roster updates may be delayed.
  • RosterElf's performance can vary across devices.

Adjusting these power-saving settings ensures seamless notification delivery, helping you stay informed and connected.
