How to Block All Notifications

The AdTranquility app is automatically set to block all notifications that are identified as spam.  To do this, your browser must be Toggled=OFF. 

How to Allow and Receive All Notifications

To allow and receive all notifications identified as spam, your browser must be Toggled=ON.

How to Select Which Notifications to Allow and Which to Block 

If you wish to only block specific notifications and allow others, you will need to add a Filter String keyword for each notification you would like to block. This will block only those notifications containing that Filter String keyword.

A Filter String keyword is simply a word that is found within the notifications that you would like to block. Keep in mind, however, that it will block everything containing that word once it is added, so you will want it to be a word that is specific only to the notification you want to block.

To add a Filter String and block specific notifications, follow the steps below once your Spam Shield is active.

1. Browser must be Toggled=ON
2. Add a new Filter String keyword for each notification you would like to block, by clicking the plus sign from the Notification Filter page and adding your keywords.

Understanding What Notifications Have Been Blocked

To view and better understand what the app has blocked, we provide a block log. 

To view the block log, go to the main screen of the AdTranquility app and click, view block log, at the bottom of the screen.

For more information on the block log and how to delete notifications from your block log, please view our article, How to Delete Items from the Block Log.
