On the Substack iOS app, you can choose to receive push notifications about new posts, receive email newsletters, or receive notifications about new posts both via push and email.
If you're not receiving email newsletters, it's possible that when you downloaded the Substack app, you selected "Smart notifications". With smart notifications, you'll primarily receive push notifications about new posts in the app and may receive email notifications about posts you've missed if you haven't opened the Substack app in a while.
How can I resume email deliveries of new posts and stop receiving push notifications from the Substack iOS app?
Tap your profile picture and select Settings.
On Settings, tap Notifications and scroll to the Newsletter Delivery section. Tap "Prefer email". New posts will now be delivered via email and can be read directly in your email provider or in Inbox on the Substack app.
- If you'd prefer to receive both email newsletters and push notifications, tap the "Both email and push" option.
- If you'd prefer to only receive push notifications from the app, tap "Prefer push" on the app. If push delivery fails, posts may resume sending via email.
