Enable Notifications for Pasaj
Pasaj uses push notifications to keep you informed about important activities related to your book swap and book exchange requests. Enabling notifications ensures that you do not miss time-sensitive updates when you swap books nearby or exchange books nearby.
Notifications are optional. However, disabling them may result in missed proposals, delayed responses, or incomplete swaps.
Why Notifications Matter
Pasaj sends push notifications when the following events occur:
- You receive an incoming proposal
- Your outgoing proposal is accepted or declined
- A new message is sent in an ongoing chat
- A swap is confirmed
- A swap is declined
These updates help you take timely action and maintain smooth communication with other readers. Since book swap requests often depend on quick responses, notifications significantly improve your chances of completing a successful exchange.
What Happens If Notifications Are Disabled
Pasaj will continue to function normally. You can still access proposals, chats, and confirmations by opening the app manually.
However, if notifications are disabled:
- You may not see new proposals immediately
- You might miss chat messages
- You could lose the opportunity to complete a swap due to delayed responses
For the best experience when you find books nearby or manage exchange books nearby requests, enabling notifications is strongly recommended.
