iOs allows you to enable critical alerts so that you can receive notifications even when your iPhone is in Do Not Disturb or Silent Mode.

In ēllu this means that if you have them enabled you will be able to receive SOS alerts in case of emergency, so we recommend that you have them enabled.

ēllu App will ask you if you want to activate them as soon as you accept being a Guardian.

"ELLU" would like to send you critical alerts"
Critical alerts always play a sound and appear on the Lock screen even if your iPhone is muted or Do Not Disturb is on. Manage Critical Alerts in Settings.

If you want to enable or disable these alerts, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Ellu App.

  2. Scroll down to Notifications.

  3. Under Critical Notifications turn the alert on or off.

To learn how to configure all the permissions for your ēllu App, we encourage you to read this article.
