**Step 5: Adjust Your Preferences**

Use the toggle switch next to each notification type to turn it **on** or **off** based on your preference.

## 💡 Tips for Managing Notifications

* **Tip 1:** Receiving too many emails? Disable email alerts for less urgent updates and rely on in-app notifications.
* **Tip 2:** Keep system alerts enabled so you don’t miss critical events.
* **Tip 3:** Not seeing any notifications? Double-check your email address and check your spam/junk folder.
* **Tip 4:** Prefer in-app if you're actively using Breakcold. Use email if you check in occasionally.
