How to turn them on

  1. Open dietshaala.com in Chrome and sign in.
  2. Go to My Account → Settings → Reminders and tap Turn on notifications.
  3. Your phone asks "Allow dietshaala.com to send notifications?". Tap Allow.
  4. Tap Send me a test. You should see it within a few seconds.
  5. Optional: tap Add Diet Shaala to my home screen (or Chrome menu ⋮ → Add to Home screen) so it opens like an app.

Apple only allows website notifications from an icon on your Home Screen. It takes a minute, once. You need iOS 16.4 or newer (Settings → General → About) and Safari.

  1. Open dietshaala.com in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button (bottom of the screen, or top on iPad).
  3. Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
  4. Close Safari and open Diet Shaala from the new icon on your Home Screen. Sign in.
  5. Go to My Account → Settings → Reminders, tap Turn on notifications, then Allow.
  6. Tap Send me a test to check.

Always open Diet Shaala from the Home Screen icon on iPhone. Notifications turned on inside Safari itself won't work.

  1. Open dietshaala.com in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari (Mac) and sign in.
  2. Go to My Account → Settings → Reminders and click Turn on notifications, then Allow.
  3. Reminders show in the corner of your screen while your browser is open.

Each phone and computer is turned on separately. Turn it on wherever you'd like to be reminded.

Not getting them?

Android (Chrome): open dietshaala.com, tap the or icon next to the address → Permissions → Notifications → Allow. Reload the page.
iPhone: Settings → Notifications → Diet Shaala → turn on Allow Notifications.
Computer: click the lock icon next to the address → Notifications → Allow.

Check that you chose reminders and times in Settings → Reminders, and that they aren't paused. Meal reminders are skipped for meals you've already ticked.

Battery saver can delay them. Open your phone Settings → Apps → Chrome → Battery → Unrestricted, and make sure Chrome's own notifications are on (Settings → Apps → Chrome → Notifications).

Make sure you opened Diet Shaala from the Home Screen icon (not Safari) when you turned them on, that your iPhone is on iOS 16.4 or newer, and that Focus / Do Not Disturb is off or allows Diet Shaala.

Notifications are per device. Sign in on the new phone and turn them on again (on iPhone, add to Home Screen first).

Choose which reminders you get, or pause them, in Settings → Reminders. To stop all notifications on a device, use the notifications page and tap Turn off.
