Managing Channel Disconnect notifications

Managing Channel Disconnect notifications

Many of our ActiveComms first responders want to keep monitoring radio channels on their iPhones while doing other tasks or simply relaxing with the phone aside. The iPhone design limits the ability for apps like ActiveComms to maintain live connections when the app is backgrounded. To solve this issue, we’ve recently made some updates that allow users to set notifications so they receive alerts when the channel they are listening to disconnects unexpectedly.

This feature is off by default. To enable it, follow the steps below.

  1. Open the Settings Menu

  2. Tap ActiveComms Settings

    1. When the notifications are turned on the slider will be to the right and the shaded area will turn green.
