How to Enable Crypto Alert Notifications (iOS and Android)
Short answer

If alerts are not arriving, it is almost always a system-level permission rather than the app.

Allow notifications when prompted

The app asks once. If you dismissed it, the system will not ask again — you must enable it in Settings.

iOS: Settings → CoinPriceAlert → Notifications

Ensure Allow Notifications is on, along with Lock Screen and Banners so time-sensitive alerts are visible.

Android: Settings → Apps → Notifications

Check that the alert channel is enabled and not set to silent.

Disable battery optimisation for reliability

Aggressive battery savers on some Android devices delay notifications. Excluding the app fixes late alerts.

Turning this into something automatic

Anything that depends on you remembering will eventually fail, usually at the worst moment. You will be asleep, in a meeting, on a flight, or simply not thinking about markets on the day it matters. That is not a discipline failure — it is the normal condition of having a life, and any system that ignores it is badly designed.

So convert every conclusion from this article into a condition that can be watched for you. A level you would act on becomes a price alert. A move size that would change your view becomes a percentage alert. A whole segment of the market you cannot follow coin by coin becomes one bulk rule that scans it and tells you when something unusual happens.

Set them, then close the app. The point of this workflow is not to make you watch more closely — it is to let you stop watching entirely and still be there when it counts. CoinPriceAlert sends push notifications for crypto, stocks, metals and forex, with quiet hours so nothing wakes you at 4am for a move you would not have traded anyway.

Never miss a move in the markets you follow

Set the level once and the check runs on our servers, so the alert reaches you with the app closed, on push, Telegram or email, and never at 3am unless you ask.

  • Fires about a second after the price hits
  • Runs on our servers, so it reaches you with the app closed
  • Free for 3 alerts — no card, no account

Frequently asked questions

What if an alert fires while I am asleep?

Set quiet hours. Alerts that trigger inside your quiet window are still recorded and appear in the app's activity list, they are simply delivered silently. Crypto has no closing bell, so without quiet hours a 24/7 market will eventually wake you for something you would not have acted on anyway.

Set an alert for this: crypto price alerts, or every market and alert type. Choosing an app? How the alert apps compare, from their own pricing pages.
