How to enable "Push Notifications" on Trust Wallet? (Activity Alerts)

Accessing Notification Settings in Trust Wallet

1. Open the Trust Wallet application on your mobile device.

2. Tap the profile icon located in the top-right corner of the main screen.

3. Scroll down and select Settings from the menu.

4. Locate and tap Notifications to enter the notification configuration panel.

5. Ensure the master toggle for notifications is enabled before proceeding to individual alert types.

Enabling Activity Alerts for Specific Blockchains

1. Within the Notifications menu, locate the section labeled Activity Alerts.

2. Tap on the blockchain you wish to monitor—such as Ethereum, BSC, or Solana.

3. Toggle on Transaction Confirmations to receive alerts when incoming or outgoing transfers are confirmed.

4. Enable Token Transfers to get push alerts whenever tokens are sent or received on that chain.

5. Activate Smart Contract Interactions if you want notifications for approvals, swaps, or staking actions.

Configuring Wallet-Specific Alert Preferences

1. Return to the Notifications screen and find the Wallet Alerts subsection.

2. Select the wallet address you use most frequently for daily transactions.

3. Turn on Low Balance Warnings to be notified when native token balance falls below a defined threshold.

4. Enable New Token Detection to receive alerts when unrecognized tokens appear in your wallet.

5. Toggle Gas Price Changes to stay informed about significant fluctuations in network fee levels on EVM-compatible chains.

Troubleshooting Common Push Notification Issues

1. Verify that system-level notifications are permitted for Trust Wallet in your device’s OS settings.

2. Check whether background app refresh is enabled—iOS requires this for timely delivery of alerts.

3. Ensure your device is connected to the internet and not in battery saver or low-power mode.

4. Reinstall the Trust Wallet app if alerts stop working after an update, then restore using your recovery phrase.

5. Disable any third-party ad blockers or firewall apps that may interfere with Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) services used by Trust Wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do I only receive email alerts but no push notifications?A: Push notifications require explicit permission at the OS level during first launch. If denied, go to device Settings > Notifications > Trust Wallet and manually enable them.

Q: Can I receive alerts for NFT transfers?A: Yes. Under Activity Alerts > Ethereum (or other supported chains), ensure NFT Activity is toggled on to get notifications for minting, sending, or receiving NFTs.

Q: Do activity alerts work for testnet networks?A: No. Trust Wallet push notifications are disabled for testnets like Sepolia or Goerli by default. Alerts only function on mainnet environments.

Q: Will I get notified for failed transactions?A: Trust Wallet does not send alerts for reverted or failed transactions. Notifications are triggered only upon successful confirmation on-chain.
