App push notifications not working


DoubleThinker

Question

Hi everyone,

From today Tuesday 17th August 2021 I have noticed I am not receiving any push notifications on my phone anymore. I have rebooted the phone and reinstalled the IG app. I have double checked the IG settings page, my phone notifications, data and battery settings and everything looks how it should. I am receiving notifications from other applications as normal. Everyone else experiencing this?

Thanks,

Antonio

Yep no prioce alerts on phone, desktop notifcation and email. Have missed lots of opps because of this. Please fix asap, without alerts there is no trading!  Only alerts that are working are order fill alerts.

Its 28th Feb 2023, IG trading alerts are still not working on my Samsung Galaxy note 9 after more than 2 years. IG told me they can't fix it yet on this thread they have been promising people throughout this time that they will fix the problem. 

This is a serious problem using the platform. Please can a senior person at IG please tell us why this has not been fixed for so long.

Push notifications for Ig app DO NOT work on android devices (samsung s8, huawei nova, xiaomi 13, samsung 23)

They only work on iOS.

Tested on multiple diff android phones with notifcations allowed.
I have been using IG for 10 years. I have alerted and repeatedly feedback more than 5 times over the last 5 years.

Nothing done. Problem not solved.

Ig android software development team should be fired immediately if they cannot fix this issue. 

 

And please stop telling us to send proof and submit a ticket to the relevant department. You have been sending this template text for the last 5 years yet nothing has been done.

 

IG team if the app doesn't have a glitch, prove it to us. Upload a live screen video of yourself setting an alert on Android phone. And show us the alert push notification works.

Hi  I gave up using the mobile app. The alerts don't come through from the desktop so I just run Chrome browser on  my mobile and log onto the main site.on my phone (Android)

At least I get the audible alerts now and the other advantage is you just click on the alert and you are straight on the instrument of interest. 

It also seems to be faster than the mobile app version

My android push notifications are not working too.

Not working for push notifications itself.

Not working for IG App on my android device (even the app itself didn't give any notifications).

Dear @Stock_Index_Trader,

Thank you for your post. We are sorry for the problems you are experiencing with your Android push notifications. Kindly make sure the IG Trading App is not optimized by the system. In such a case system can decrease the precision of push delivery in favor of saving batter.

For this:

- On the device launcher screen long tap on the IG Trading app icon.

- Then, in settings tap Battery.

- Under "Manage battery usage," tap Optimized.

- Make sure "Optimized" is disabled

If the above does not resolve the issue kindly send an email to helpdesk.uk@ig.com with the type of alerts you have active and it will be forwarded to the technical team.

Thanks,

KoketsoIG

Dear KoketsoIG

I finally found the solution was to reinstall the app.

My theory is that the connection between the app and your alerts center gets permanently broken.

The only way to fix this is to reinstall it.

 

Dear @Stock_Index_Trader,

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing what worked for you in this thread. I'm sure it will help other members too!

All the best!

    • The mischievous amphibian who became a meme legend? Well, meet Apu, his wide-eyed, optimistic cousin, taking the internet by storm – and now, perhaps, the world of finance. Apu, also known as Peepo or Helper, is a kinder, gentler Pepe variant. Tired of the often-scammy memecoin scene, Apu (or rather, Apu's devoted community) decided to create something different: $APU, a "fairly launched, fully transparent coin" built by and for "all frens." Here's where things get interesting. $APU's narrative is one of resilience and community power. Fueled by the cryptocurrency community's enthusiasm, $APU was initially launched with the best of intentions. However, the dream took a nasty turn when the original developer pulled the rug – a disheartening scenario for many crypto enthusiasts. Today, $APU stands as a testament to community empowerment. It's a beacon of hope for projects facing similar challenges, a reminder that collaboration and resilience can transform setbacks into stepping stones. It's also worth noting that another community-driven memecoin, $MASSA, recently found a home on the Bitget exchange. Could this be a sign of things to come for $APU? What are your thoughts? Does Apu's story inspire you? Can a memecoin truly become a legitimate force in the volatile world of cryptocurrency? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments below!
    • The price shown on the graph is the price after the IG's fee taken. That is the reason for discrepancy.
    • I am a relatively newbie. I have seen similar and also have seen automated closed position has a loss though the close price I have set was above the price I have bought. After about 6 months with a lot of mysterious losses though my closing price was above the opening price, I discovered this was because of the amount charged for opening/closing a position. This is right below BUY and SELL boxes on the right in very small font. This amount vary from  0.9 to 33 or more depending on the level of trading at the time you open or close. It also happens (god knows why it is set to be so, except that the trader is not watching) when there is a lot of buying and selling going on, like an important news has suddenly been out and the result was not the market expected. As a result, I delete all my automated BUY/SELL values before I stop trading for the day. Remember, the the software is set up to favor the IG, not the retail seller. That is why 70% or more end up in loss.
