The Inbox collects messages from BookBeat in one place, for example when a book you've been waiting for is released or a new book comes out in a series you follow.
Open your Inbox
Tap the bell symbol at the top of "Home". It's in the top right corner on iOS and in the top left corner on Android. When you have new messages, you'll see a marker on the bell symbol.
What's in your Inbox
The Inbox shows the messages you have received, and new messages are marked as new. If a message is about a book, tap it to go straight to the book. Other messages can take you to another page, for example an offer.
Your messages stay in your Inbox until you remove them, and you can see them on all your devices.
Choose which messages you get
- Tap "Profile" in the bottom right corner of the app.
- In the "My App Settings" section, tap "Notifications".
- Under "I'm interested in", choose "Audiobooks", "E-books" or both.
- Under "I want notifications about", turn on the types of messages you want: "My upcoming books", "Series I follow", "Authors and narrators I follow", "BookBeat Info", "Book Recommendations" and "Marketing Offers".
To choose your preferences, notifications need to be allowed for BookBeat on your device. If you only want messages in your Inbox, you can turn off notifications on your device again afterwards. Your choices stay saved, and you'll keep getting messages in your Inbox.
Important messages about your account always appear in your Inbox and can't be turned off.
You can read more in our article about how to choose your notifications.
Remove messages
- Tap the three dots (iOS) or "Edit" (Android) in the top right corner of the Inbox.
- Select the messages you want to remove.
- Tap the button at the bottom to remove them, for example "Remove 2 messages".
