How to enable notifications in Exodus wallet? (Price Alerts)

Enabling Price Alerts in Exodus Wallet

1. Launch the Exodus desktop or mobile application and ensure you are logged into your wallet.

2. Navigate to the Portfolio tab located at the bottom of the mobile interface or on the left sidebar in desktop view.

3. Scroll through your asset list and select the cryptocurrency for which you want to set a price alert.

4. Tap or click the three-dot menu icon (⋯) next to the asset name, then choose Set Price Alert.

5. Enter the target price value in your preferred fiat currency or select an alternate quote currency.

6. Choose whether the alert should trigger when the price rises above or falls below the specified threshold.

7. Confirm the alert by tapping Save. A green checkmark appears once activated.

Managing Active Price Alerts

1. Go to the Settings menu, accessible via the gear icon in the top-right corner on desktop or bottom navigation bar on mobile.

2. Select Notifications, then tap Price Alerts to view all configured triggers.

3. Each active alert displays the asset symbol, target price, direction indicator (↑ or ↓), and current status.

4. Toggle the switch next to any alert to disable it without deleting the configuration.

5. Swipe left on a mobile alert entry to reveal a Delete option; click it to remove permanently.

6. Desktop users can hover over an alert row and click the trash icon to delete individual entries.

Notification Delivery Channels

1. Desktop users receive alerts as system-level pop-ups in the bottom-right corner of the screen, regardless of whether Exodus is in focus.

2. Mobile alerts appear as standard push notifications with sound and vibration enabled by default.

3. Both platforms support visual indicators: a bell icon with a red dot appears in the top navigation bar when an alert fires.

4. Exodus does not send email or SMS notifications for price alerts—delivery is strictly limited to in-app and OS-native channels.

5. Users must grant Exodus permission to display notifications during initial setup or via device settings if previously denied.

Asset Coverage and Limitations

1. Price alerts function for all tokens supported natively in Exodus, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and over 250 others.

2. Custom tokens imported manually via contract address are eligible only if real-time pricing data is available from integrated providers like CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap.

3. Alerts do not activate during extended offline states or when the app is force-closed on iOS devices due to background process restrictions.

4. There is no hard limit on the number of simultaneous price alerts per wallet, though performance may degrade beyond 50 active triggers.

5. Alerts rely on aggregated exchange data feeds; discrepancies of up to ±0.8% versus spot prices on major exchanges may occur during high-volatility events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do price alerts work when Exodus is closed?A: On desktop, yes—alerts trigger even when the application is minimized or running in the background. On iOS, alerts require the app to be open or suspended—not fully terminated. Android permits background execution under most OEM configurations.

Q: Can I set alerts for multiple price levels on the same asset?A: Yes. Exodus allows stacking multiple alerts per token—for example, one for $38,500 BTC and another for $42,200 BTC—each operating independently.

Q: Why did my alert not fire at the exact price I specified?A: Price feeds update every 15–30 seconds. Rapid price movements may cross thresholds between polling intervals, causing minor timing delays. Alerts reflect the last confirmed tick, not sub-second micro-movements.

Q: Is there a way to export or back up my price alert configurations?A: No. Price alert settings are stored locally on the device and are not included in seed phrase backups or cloud sync. Reinstallation requires re-creation of all alerts.
