Activity Notifications

Overview

Activity Notifications keep you informed about what matters — new messages, trip changes, friend requests, and activity from people you follow. Get notified in real time so you never miss an important update.

Why it matters

Travel plans change fast. A friend might update a shared trip, send a last-minute campground recommendation, or change their arrival time. Real-time notifications ensure you see updates when they happen, not hours later.

How it works

Notifications are delivered in-app and via push (if enabled). You can configure which types of activity trigger notifications — messages, trip updates, friend requests, or group activity. Notification preferences are customizable per category.

When to use it

• You want to know immediately when a friend messages you
• You need real-time updates on shared trip changes
• You're waiting for a friend to accept an invitation or confirm plans
• You want to stay aware of group activity without constantly checking the app
