# Change email and push notification preferences

Open your profile's **Notifications & email** section to choose the supported email and push notifications you want, then choose **Save preferences**. Available channels vary by notification type.

## Save your preferences

1. Sign in to the account receiving the notifications and open your profile.
2. Find **Notifications & email**.
3. Change the available switches beside each notification type.
4. Choose **Save preferences** and wait for the save to finish.

An unavailable channel is not an extra switch you need to enable. For example, the exchange-updates preference controls push notifications; exchange emails such as invitations, match messages and cancellations can still arrive.

## Check list and device settings too

List-specific purchase email settings and gift reveal settings affect what purchase information you receive. Read [Keep gifts a surprise](https://staging.giftlist.com/help/surprises-and-reveal) before enabling detailed purchase information.

For push alerts, also check your phone's notification permission for GiftList. Account preferences cannot override an operating-system block. For missing email, check spam and the account email address before repeatedly changing preferences.

## Occasion reminders

[Occasions](https://staging.giftlist.com/help/occasion-reminders) has reminder settings for individual dates as well. Turning a reminder on is a request for that notification, not a guarantee that a device or email provider will display it.
