How to Master Your Notifications: A Comprehensive Guide to Removing Alerts on Webull
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant pings and pop-ups from your Webull app? Do you find yourself missing crucial market movements amidst a deluge of irrelevant alerts? You're not alone! Many traders, from beginners to seasoned pros, can find their notification settings spiraling out of control. But fear not, because in this extensive guide, we're going to walk you through every step to regain control and silence those unwanted Webull alerts. Let's dive in!
Step 1: Identify the Culprit – What Kinds of Alerts Are You Receiving?
Before we start decluttering, let's take a moment to understand the different types of alerts Webull offers. Knowing what's generating the noise will help us target our efforts effectively. Think of it like being a detective for your digital peace of mind!
Price Alerts: These are probably the most common. You set a specific price for a stock, and Webull notifies you when it hits that target. This can be for a price increase, decrease, or a specific percentage change.
Volume Alerts: Get notified when a stock's trading volume reaches a certain threshold. This is useful for identifying unusual activity.
News Alerts: Webull can send you updates on breaking news related to stocks in your watchlist or those you follow.
Corporate Action Alerts: Notifications about dividends, stock splits, mergers, etc.
System/Account Alerts: These relate to your account activity, such as order fills, deposits, withdrawals, or security notifications.
Community Alerts: If you interact with the Webull community, you might receive notifications about replies to your posts or mentions.
General Market Alerts: These could be for market open/close, significant market movements, or economic data releases.

Step 2: The Mobile App Method – Your Primary Control Center
The Webull mobile app is where most users interact with their alerts. This is generally the easiest and most direct way to manage them.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
Sub-heading: Navigating to "My Alerts" for Stock-Specific Control
This is where you'll find and manage the price and volume alerts you've set for individual stocks.
Open the Webull App: Launch the Webull application on your smartphone or tablet.
Access Your Profile: Look for the "Menu" or "Profile" icon, usually located in the bottom right corner (or sometimes the top right, depending on your app version). It often looks like a person's silhouette or a set of lines. Tap on it.
Find "My Alerts": In the "Menu" section, scroll down until you see an option labeled "My Alerts" or a bell icon. Tap on this.
Select the Stock: You will now see a list of stocks for which you have active alerts. This list can sometimes be quite long if you've been actively setting alerts! Tap on the specific stock for which you want to remove alerts.
Delete Individual Alerts: Once you've selected a stock, you'll see all the alerts you've set for it (e.g., "Price reaches $X," "Volume above Y"). To remove an alert, tap on it, and you should see an option to "Delete" or a trash can icon. Confirm your deletion.
Pro Tip: If you want to delete all alerts for a specific stock, you might find a "Delete All" option or need to go through them one by one.
Sub-heading: Adjusting General Notification Settings (App-Wide)
Beyond stock-specific alerts, Webull has broader notification settings that control what kind of general information you receive.
Return to the "Menu" / "Profile" Section: From anywhere in the app, go back to your main "Menu" or "Profile."
Go to "Settings": Within the "Menu," locate and tap on "Settings."
Find "Notifications": Look for a section related to "Notifications" or "Push Notifications."
Customize Your Preferences: Here, you'll find various categories of notifications, such as:
News: You can often toggle these off completely or refine them to specific types of news (e.g., "Breaking News Only").
Market Open/Close: If you don't need these daily reminders, you can switch them off.
Order Notifications: Be careful with these! While you might want to reduce noise, you generally do want to be notified of order fills or rejections.
System Notifications: Similar to order notifications, these often include important account security alerts. Consider keeping critical ones on.
Community Notifications: If you don't engage with the community, you can turn these off.
Toggle Off Unwanted Alerts: Simply tap the toggle switch next to any category of notification you wish to disable. The switch will usually change color (e.g., from green to gray) to indicate it's off.
Step 3: The Desktop Platform Method – For a Broader View
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
While the mobile app is convenient, Webull's desktop platform often provides a more comprehensive interface for managing alerts, especially if you have many of them.
Log in to Webull Desktop: Open the Webull desktop application on your computer and log in to your account.
Locate "My Alerts": On the desktop platform, "My Alerts" is typically found in one of two places:
Look for a bell icon in the top menu bar or a sidebar.
Navigate through the "Menu" or "Tools" section, where "My Alerts" should be listed.
Manage Alerts Visually: The desktop interface usually presents your alerts in a table format, making it easier to see all your active alerts at a glance.
Delete Alerts:
To delete a single alert, click on it and look for a "Delete" button or an "X" icon next to it.
To delete multiple alerts, some desktop versions allow you to select several alerts (using Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click) and then delete them in bulk.
Always confirm the deletion when prompted.
Step 4: System-Level Settings – The Last Resort (and a good check!)
Even if you've turned off alerts within the Webull app, your phone's operating system (iOS or Android) has its own notification settings that can sometimes override or supplement app-specific settings. This is a good place to check if you're still getting persistent notifications.
Sub-heading: For iOS (iPhone/iPad) Users
Open "Settings": Go to your device's main "Settings" app.
Scroll to "Notifications": Tap on "Notifications."
Find Webull: Scroll down the list of apps until you find "Webull" and tap on it.
Adjust Notification Style: Here you can:
"Allow Notifications": You can turn this off completely, but be aware this will block all Webull notifications, including critical ones.
Alert Style: Change how notifications appear (Banners, Alerts, None).
Sounds/Badges: Disable notification sounds or the red badge icon if desired.
Show Previews: Control whether notification content is shown on your lock screen.
Sub-heading: For Android Users
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Open "Settings": Go to your device's main "Settings" app.
Tap "Apps" or "Apps & Notifications": The exact wording may vary depending on your Android version.
Find Webull: Tap on "See all apps" (if applicable) and then locate "Webull" in the list. Tap on it.
Tap "Notifications": This will open the specific notification settings for the Webull app.
Customize Your Preferences: You'll likely see categories similar to the in-app settings (e.g., "Price Alerts," "News Alerts").
Toggle Off Categories: You can toggle off entire categories of notifications that you don't want to receive.
Silent Notifications: For some categories, you might be able to set them to "Silent" so they don't make a sound or pop up visually.
Prioritize: Some Android versions allow you to prioritize certain notifications.
Step 5: Regular Review and Maintenance – Keep It Clean!
Your trading strategy evolves, and so should your alert settings. What was relevant last month might be noise this month.
Set a Reminder: Schedule a monthly or quarterly reminder to review your Webull alerts.
Delete Old Alerts: If an alert for a specific price target has been triggered or is no longer relevant to your strategy, delete it.
Refine General Settings: As your preferences change, revisit the general notification settings in the app and your phone's system settings. A clean notification inbox is a clear mind for trading decisions!
