How to Get Instagram Notifications on a computer
Hey everyone. Instagram has a new update for the desktop. So I just wanted to make a quick video to show you how to turn on notifications on your Mac or PC on your browser, on your desktop. Now I found myself a lot of time looking at my phone while I'm at work for my notifications, but this way I could just turn it on.
I can get it right on my desktop while I'm working. So I don't get distracted on the phone and it's a very easy process to set it up right after that, I'll show you the notification tab. On the phone application as well. They've moved a couple of things around, so I wanted to make a quick update on that.
So let's go ahead and go to instagram.com on a browser. I'm using Chrome here. But the process is pretty much the same and this update happened middle of October 2018. So you should get something like this that says, turn on notification and I can't force this to come on, but it's the first time. Now, in fact, every time I come on instagram.com on a computer, I get this pop-up.
So you could say turn on or not. Now, in this case, I'm going to say, turn on, and simply by doing that, it's going to start showing me my notifications right up here. So every time I get a notification on Instagram, it's going to pop right here on my desktop. If you do use your Instagram on your computer a lot, there's a really cool app that I use all the time on a Mac that lets me do direct messages and basically have an Instagram experience on my Mac.
So if you have a Mac right I'll put that link in the description for this app. And it's one of my most popular videos here and people really seem to like it let's jump into the computer. I want to make sure that you have all your notifications settings on. So it actually translates over to a computer because you can't change those here.
You'll have to do it on the phone. Let's jump into the phone right now. So, if you go to your Instagram app on your phone, basically, this is how you go to your settings, press the three lines on the top right now, this does change from time to time. But the settings option is always going to be somewhere near here, press settings on the bottom of the page, and now Instagram has changed this to be more of a menu and more organized. So the first thing is notifications, go ahead and click that, and it will show you the different types of notifications. So push notification and email. So if I go to push you just got to make sure that your notification is on Viber, where on top it's on, and if you go through, you want to see that likes comments and all these other things, except follow requests, all these things either turn the notification on or off view count and so on and if I go back to the email and SMS notification, I want to make sure if I turn these on or off that I'm going to get notification about these email or SMS.
I have everything on here and it's now pushing it to my desktop. I'll go ahead and update some of the other videos since Instagram changed its menu setting. Once again. So stay tuned. If you have any more questions on Instagram updates, and if you're not a subscriber, I have nearly a hundred Instagram videos and over 300 easy-to-follow tech videos on his channel and I make new ones every single day of the week. So I hope to see you in the next video. Thanks so much for watching this one.
