Buddzy respects your vibe. Maybe you love Streak alerts but couldn't care less about rank changes. Maybe you want Challenge invites but Star notifications feel like too much. Whatever your preference, Buddzy gives you granular control over every notification type so you can build the exact alert experience that works for you.
How It Works
Head into your Buddzy settings and you'll find a dedicated notification preferences section. From there, you can toggle individual notification types on or off. Each category is independent — disabling one has zero effect on the others.
Here's what you can customize:
- Star notifications — alerts when friends send you Stars
- Streak safety alerts — warnings when a Streak is about to break
- Milestone alerts — celebrations for achievements and phase transitions
- Challenge and Quiz invites — notifications when friends invite you to play
- Rank change alerts — updates when your leaderboard position shifts
- Resource restock alerts — reminders when your Daily Chest or Missions refresh
- Friend activity — general updates about your Galaxy
The Core Experience Stays Intact
Here's the beauty of granular control — disabling a notification type only removes the push alert. It doesn't disable the underlying feature. If you turn off Star notifications, you'll still receive Stars normally. They'll still appear in your Notification Center. They'll still count toward your leaderboard position. You just won't get the push alert on your phone.
This means you can aggressively customize your notification preferences without worrying about missing out on actual gameplay mechanics. The core Buddzy experience remains fully functional regardless of your notification settings.
Finding Your Sweet Spot
Everyone's sweet spot is different. Some players want maximum alerts so they never miss a beat. Others prefer a quieter phone and check the Notification Center manually. Most people land somewhere in between.
A solid starting configuration for players who want fewer interruptions:
- Keep enabled — Streak safety alerts, Challenge/Quiz invites, milestone alerts
- Consider disabling — Rank changes, individual Star notifications
- Your call — Resource restock alerts, general friend activity
Pro Tips
- Start with everything enabled and then dial back specific types that feel noisy. It's easier to remove than to guess what you'll miss.
- Streak safety alerts are the one category you should almost never disable. They're genuinely critical for maintaining your Streaks.
- You can change your preferences anytime. Feel free to experiment until you find what feels right.
Good to Know
Your notification preferences are stored on Buddzy's servers, so they sync across devices. If you switch phones or reinstall the app, your customizations carry over automatically. No need to reconfigure everything from scratch. One setup, everywhere.
