How to Stop Flipboard Notifications

This article covers how to disable notifications in the Flipboard mobile app or the desktop version of Flipboard that's accessed through a web browser. It also includes instructions for turning off email alerts and disabling all Flipboard app notifications.

How to Disable Push Notifications in Flipboard

If you're using Flipboard on your mobile device you probably get a ton of notifications from the company about new stories and social interactions. That's because by default you're subscribed to all the notification for Flipboard including likes, reflips, and comments. You can change that to receive fewer push notifications (or none) on your mobile device in Flipboard settings.

1. Open Flipboard and tap your profile icon on the bottom-right corner of the page and then tap the Settings gear icon in the top-right corner.

2. On the Settings page, tap Push Notifications. You may have to scroll down a little to find it.

3. On the Push Notifications page, the types of notifications you'll receive have a checked box to the right of the notification name. Deselect any of these notifications that you don't want to receive.

   

4. When you've finished with your selections, you can go back to Flipboard or even close out of the app. Your preferences will be automatically saved.

How to Change Flipboard Email Settings

If you receive too many emails from Flipboard, you can adjust those settings as well, but you'll have to do it from the desktop version of Flipboard that you access through a web browser.

1. Open Flipboard in any web browser and click your Profile image in the upper right corner.

   

2. In the menu that appears, click Settings.

   

3. On the Settings page, scroll to Email Settings and deselect any of the email communications you do not want to receive. When you're finished, click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
