Notifications
New York provides notifications of the most-talked-about stories even when the app is closed on your iPhone.
To enable notifications when you first download the app, confirm you’d like to “Allow” notifications from New York on the pop-up screen that appears.
If you would like to turn notifications on at a later time, visit your account page on the app. There, you can see all of your preferences, including notifications. To turn on notifications on your account page, toggle “New York Magazine Updates” to green. You will see a pop-up in your app to confirm that you would like to “Allow” notifications from New York. This preference can be turned off or on at any time.
