New chapter notifications from writers you follow
Get notified when a writer you follow publishes a new book or chapter, and manage it in settings.
Follow a writer you love so you never miss them. We'll let you know when they publish something new.
When you get notified
- When a writer you follow publishes a new book.
- When a writer you follow, or a book in one of your libraries, publishes a new chapter.
- When a book in your libraries or by a writer you follow is completed.
Tapping the notification opens the book page directly.
Follow a writer
- On a book page, tap the author's name or photo.
- On their profile, tap Follow.
New books from writers you follow also appear on your home screen.
Turn these notifications on or off
In Settings › Notifications, use the Libraries and new chapters switch in the Books group.
Not getting notifications?
- Check that notifications for ARWY are allowed in your phone settings. If they're off, you'll see a warning on the settings screen.
- Make sure you actually follow the writer.
- If a writer unpublishes a chapter and publishes it again, you won't be notified a second time.
- Battery saver modes on some phones can delay notifications.
