Mobile push notifications are a great way to keep you connected to your community on Tumblr without having to constantly check for likes, reblogs, or new followers.
Unfortunately, if you’ve ever had a Tumblr post quickly gain a ton of notes while your mobile push notifications were on, you probably ended up turning them off completely or maybe even deleted the post. We’ve seen it happen again and again. Not great, Bob.
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice seeing how your community regularly interacts with your Tumblr just because responses to one post in particular are flooding your phone. So we (finally) made it better.
You can now mute mobile notifications for individual posts
It’s easy, and there are a few ways to do it.
From a push notification: If you’re on an iOS device, press and hold on the push notification, then tap “Mute.” If Android is your style, just pull down the notification to expand it and see the same button.
From the post: Tap the meatballs menu (●●●) in the upper right-hand corner, mosey your finger over to “Mute” and then confirm your decision. You can also unmute the notifications on this post by following the same steps and tapping “Unmute” instead.
From your activity feed: Tap that cute little messaging bubble at the bottom of your dashboard. Navigate to the Activity tab, track down an activity line item from the post people just won’t stop reblogging, and then press and hold until you’re given the option to tap the “Mute” confirmation button.
Muting notifications only mutes the push notifications sent to your phone
You’ll always see every post activity line item on your dashboard and in the activity section, even if you turn off or mute push notifications. That way you’ll still have all of the information regarding who’s engaging with your post with none of the disruptive notifications popping up on your device.
Don’t see these beautiful new buttons? Make sure you’re running version 15.3 or later of the Tumblr app.
