How do I adjust my Chat notifications?

Substack Chat is available on the web and the Substack app.

If you have Chat notifications enabled on the Substack app, you can receive push notifications for when a reader replies in a Chat thread, shares an image reply, reacts to a thread, or starts their own thread.
