🧠 Tip: Check Battery & Focus Settings

Why am I still not receiving notifications?
Double-check that Beeper is allowed to run in the background and that system notifications are enabled. Some manufacturers (like Xiaomi, Huawei, or OnePlus) require additional permission steps.

Can I mute certain chats?

Do @mentions still notify me if a chat is muted?
Yes. You’ll still get notifications for @mentions and replies in muted chats.
