# How to Receive Mobile App Notifications

Using the [SocialGlow Mobile App](https://help.socialglow.com/en/article/group-members-guide-socialglow-mobile-app-1u8ucxw/) is the easiest way to be notified when new activity occurs in the groups you're a part of. When you click on any notification, you will be directed to that particular post.

* When allowed on your device, these notifications will pop up on your screen for quick and easy access.

* The **Bell** icon at the top of any group also indicates any new notifications.
