Between new messages, offer updates, and price drops on saved listings, iSwap.pk can send a fair number of notifications — here's how to shape that down to exactly what's useful to you.
Step-by-Step: Managing Your Preferences
- Go to My Account → Notifications.
- You'll see two things to control: which channels you receive notifications through, and which topics you want to be notified about.
- Toggle each one on or off individually.
- Changes save automatically — there's no separate submit step.
Notification Channels
- Email — notifications delivered to your account's email address.
- Push — notifications delivered directly to your browser or the iSwap.pk mobile app, where you've granted permission.
Notification Topics
Regardless of which channels you have enabled, you can independently control what you're notified about:
- Messages — new chats and replies.
- Price drops — when a listing you've wishlisted drops in price.
- Swap updates — activity on offers you've sent or received.
- Marketing — occasional updates and promotions from iSwap.pk itself.
Turning off a topic stops notifications for it across whichever channels you have enabled — you don't need to disable each channel separately for the same topic.
Mobile App Push Permissions
On the Android/iOS apps, push notifications additionally require you to grant notification permission at the device level. If you've enabled push in your iSwap.pk settings but still aren't getting notifications on your phone, check your device's own app notification permissions too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I turn off notifications completely?
You can turn off every topic and channel you have control over. Account verification codes (OTP) and essential security notices are sent regardless, since they're required to keep your account secure and functioning.
Why am I not receiving SMS notifications?
SMS is currently used only for OTP verification codes, not as a general notification channel — email and push are the two channels available for messages, price drops, swap updates, and marketing.
Do I need to enable push notifications separately on web and mobile?
Push permission is tied to the specific browser or device you're using, so granting it on your phone doesn't automatically enable it in a desktop browser, and vice versa.
No — marketing is a separate topic from messages and swap updates, so turning it off only stops promotional content, not activity related to your own trades.
