How can users optimize their SoundCloud notifications, particularly for different user types like artists and fans?

To optimize your notifications:

Access the Notifications Settings Page

  • Go to your Notifications Settings page on SoundCloud, where you can choose which notifications you'd like to receive via email or iOS push notifications (Android support will be available soon).

Choose Notification Types:

1. Activity Notifications:

Artists may want to prioritize notifications that keep them informed about interactions with their content, such as:

  • New Follower: Receive updates when someone follows you.
  • Reposts: Get notified when someone reposts your track or playlist.
  • Likes and Comments: Stay updated when someone likes or comments on your tracks or playlists.
  • Messages: Be alerted when you receive a new message from fans or collaborators.

2. SoundCloud Updates:

Both artists and fans can benefit from staying informed about platform updates, but artists might focus more on:

    • New SoundCloud Features: Keep up with the latest product releases and features.
    • Surveys and Feedback: Participate in feedback opportunities to shape future features.
    • Tips and Offers: Learn about new ways to discover artists or improve your SoundCloud experience.
    • SoundCloud Newsletter: Receive news and special offers from SoundCloud and its partners.

 

What additional tips can help users manage mobile push notifications and ensure they receive important updates?

To manage your mobile push notifications:

Limit Notifications for Better Focus:

  • SoundCloud limits activity notifications to one every 24 hours. This helps prevent notification overload, especially for active artists.

 

Enable Push Notifications:

  • If you've turned off push notifications in your mobile device's settings, you'll need to re-enable them to start receiving updates. Once enabled, return to your Notifications Settings page to select which specific notifications you want on your mobile device.

 

Check All Activity in One Place:

  • Even with limited notifications, you can always view all activity on your profile by visiting your Notifications page, where you can see interactions like new followers, likes, reposts, and comments.

By following these steps, both artists and fans can tailor their SoundCloud notifications to stay informed and engaged with the platform, ensuring they don't miss important updates or interactions.
