First of all, if this is a bug, please help me change the tag.

For three days, I did not receive any notification for library updates, the only thing it shows is a red dot at the updated novel.

I'm using the latest version app on Android for your information.

By the way, I know there are several other threads like this before but they are most likely outdated.

    App > Profile > Settings > Notifications > Library Updates

    If it's enabled, go back to your Library, click on the three dots on the cover [bottom-right] of the story you want to receive notifications for, and see if Update Notifications option is enabled.

    If that, too, is enabled then follow the SELF-HELP guides below. And if the guides don't work and you have to use the Final method, you can directly ping @yaoyueyi and ask for the Report Bugs tag, or ping me and I will ping her in your stead.

    AI380 Forgot to mention one thing, you might have clicked around and disabled Webnovel's notifications on your device. On Android, it's really easy to do this since you just need to swipe right on the notification and the button to disable them appears.

    For this, you will have to re-enable the notifications through the Settings.

    Device Settings > Apps & Notifications > All Apps > Webnovel > Notifications

    If the above isn't how it works for your device, you can do a Google Search: How to enable/disable an App's notifications on name_of_your_device?
