How to Set Up Fomo Notifications Without Getting Spammed

Fomo's notification settings are in the phone app: open the Portfolio tab, tap the gear icon, then Notifications. One switch at the top turns everything on or off, and below it you choose each kind of alert separately. The web app has only one setting, Trader activity alerts for the traders you follow.

Leave everything on and a busy day can bring dozens of pushes. Set them up once and you get the few that matter, like a big move in a coin you hold or a trade from a trader you trust, without the rest.

Every notification Fomo can send

Pushes arrive even when the app is closed, as long as notifications for Fomo are allowed in your phone's settings.

A setup that doesn't spam you

Follow a lot of traders with Following activity and Top traders' activity both on, and the pushes pile up fast. Try this instead:

1. Keep Price alerts on. Open the Price alerts screen and leave My holdings switched on. It warns you about large moves, up or down, in tokens you hold since you bought them. This is the one that saves money.
2. Trim Following activity. Open its screen and raise the minimum trade size, so a $20 buy doesn't ping you. Then pause or turn off alerts for individual traders and keep them only for the few whose trades you act on. Following someone in the feed doesn't mean you need a push for each of their buys.
3. Turn off Top traders' activity unless you trade like they do. It fires often, and their sizes and timing rarely suit a small account.
4. Keep New followers and Referrals if you post theses or share cards; switch them off if you don't.
5. Decide on Trending activity. It carries the general trending alerts, and also the team updates for coins you hold, so switching it off mutes both.

Price alerts: what they can and can't do

Fomo's price alerts cover the tokens you already hold. You can't set an alert for a coin you're only watching, and you can't pick a target price or a dollar amount. The single My holdings switch alerts you to large moves since you bought.

That's a real limit if you're used to setting "tell me at $0.05" on other apps. If you need target alerts, use a separate charting app and keep Fomo's alerts for the coins in your wallet.

Team updates from token developers

Some token teams post updates to their holders on Fomo with a team tag. When the developer of a token you hold posts a thesis on it, you get it as a Team update. If you follow that developer but don't hold the token, you get the normal thesis notification instead. Nobody gets both.

Team updates follow the Trending activity switch. Turn that off and you won't get them as a holder; you'd only see the developer's post as a regular thesis notification if you follow them.

Perps notifications

If you trade perps, Fomo sends its own alerts for liquidation risk and for take profit, stop loss and limit order fills. Liquidation risk alerts are always on and can't be switched off, which is a good thing. The fill notifications follow the main Enable notifications switch.

Common problems

I get no notifications at all

Check two places: Enable notifications at the top of Fomo's Notifications screen, and notifications for Fomo in your phone's own settings. Either one being off stops everything.

I only want alerts for one trader

Open Following activity and turn the alerts off for every trader except that one. The feed still shows everyone you follow.

The web app doesn't notify me

The web app has only the Trader activity alerts setting. Everything else is set and delivered in the phone app.
