Things to keep in mind
- Students under 13 can make changes to their notification preferences so they can control how they receive announcements. However, they are unable to respond to announcements and also can't participate in one-to-one or group conversations on Remind.
- You can learn how to view members of your organization's user notification preferences and troubleshoot why a user may not receive your messages by reading the following article: Why aren't my messages being delivered?
At-a-glance reachability status
- When viewing a person's profile, if you see a lightning bolt next to their name, they're receiving Remind messages as push notifications or texts on their phones—the most effective way to ensure they can see and read your messages.
- If a person's profile has three dots next to their name, they're receiving your messages via email.
- If a person's profile has an X next to their name, they do not have a contact device linked with their Remind account. Or if the individual has a contact device connected to their account, they've opted out of receiving all notifications.
- These individuals need to update their accounts to add a contact device so they can receive messages. If the person has shared their updated contact information with you, you can read the following article to update their contact information from your administrator account: How do I change a participant's contact information?
