Many traders and investors using Webull appreciate its robust features but also seek to reclaim some peace and quiet from the digital noise.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through, step-by-step, on how to effectively manage and turn off Webull notifications across its various platforms – mobile, desktop, and even email. By the end of this guide, you'll be able to tailor your notification experience to your exact preferences, ensuring you only receive the alerts that truly matter to you.
Let's dive in and take back control of your trading focus!
Step 1: Understand the Different Types of Webull Notifications
Before we start toggling switches, it's crucial to understand the different categories of notifications Webull sends. This will help you decide which ones you want to keep, customize, or completely silence.
Price Alerts: These are perhaps the most critical for active traders. They notify you when a stock or other asset reaches a specific price point, either up or down. You can set these based on absolute price or percentage change.
Order Notifications: Alerts related to your trades, such as order fills, rejections, or cancellations. These are generally important to keep active for managing your positions.
System Messages/Account Alerts: Important communications from Webull regarding your account, platform updates, security alerts, and corporate actions (like dividends or stock splits).
News Notifications: Updates on market news, specific company news, economic reports, and general financial headlines. These can be quite frequent.
Community/Social Notifications: Alerts from the Webull community, such as mentions, replies to your posts, or updates from users you follow.
Promotional/Marketing Notifications: These include announcements about new features, promotions, educational content, or other marketing messages from Webull.
By understanding these categories, you can make informed decisions about which notifications to keep for essential trading and which to disable for a less cluttered experience.

Step 2: Managing Notifications on the Webull Mobile App (iOS & Android)
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
The Webull mobile app is where most users experience the brunt of notifications. This section will guide you through managing them effectively.
Sub-heading 2.1: In-App Notification Settings
This is where you have the most granular control over Webull's native notifications.
Open the Webull App: Launch the Webull application on your smartphone.
Navigate to the Menu: Tap on the Menu icon, usually located in the bottom right corner (it often looks like three horizontal lines or a person icon).
Go to Settings: Scroll down and tap on Settings.
Find Notification Settings: Look for an option like Notifications, Notification Settings, or Alert Settings. The exact wording might vary slightly between app versions.
Customize Each Category:
You'll likely see various categories of notifications listed (e.g., "Market Alerts," "Account Updates," "News & Announcements," "Community").
Tap on each category to expand its options.
Inside each category, you'll find individual toggles for specific types of alerts. For instance, under "Market Alerts," you might find options for "Price Alerts," "Volume Alerts," etc.
Carefully review each toggle and decide whether you want to receive that specific notification. Toggle off those you don't need.
For News Notifications: This is often a major source of unwanted pings. Look for options related to "News," "Industry News," "Breaking News," or "Stock News" and disable them if you prefer to get your news elsewhere.
For Promotional Notifications: These are often found under a "General" or "Promotional" category. Turn them off to reduce marketing messages.
Sub-heading 2.2: Managing Existing Price Alerts
Sometimes, the constant pings are from price alerts you set up long ago and no longer need.
From the Menu: From the main Menu page, look for My Alerts (often represented by a bell icon). Tap on it.
Review and Delete Alerts:
You'll see a list of all your active price alerts.
Tap on the specific stock for which you want to manage alerts.
You'll then have options to edit or delete the individual alerts. Delete any alerts that are no longer relevant.
Alternatively, you might be able to swipe left (on iOS) or long-press (on Android) an alert to quickly reveal a delete option.
Disabling Alerts for Unfollowed Stocks: If you're receiving alerts for stocks you don't even follow, you might have old alerts set or specific settings enabling them. Review your "My Alerts" carefully.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
Sub-heading 2.3: Device-Level Notification Settings
Even after adjusting in-app settings, your device's operating system (iOS or Android) has its own layer of control. This is a crucial step if Webull is still sending notifications despite your in-app adjustments.
For iOS Users:
Go to your iPhone's Settings app.
Scroll down and tap on Notifications.
Find Webull in the list of apps and tap on it.
Here you can:
Toggle off Allow Notifications completely to block all Webull notifications (use with caution, as this includes critical order fills).
Customize alert styles: Choose between Banners, Alerts, and Badges.
Turn off specific alert types: You can disable sounds, badges, or lock screen notifications for Webull.
Crucially, you can disable individual notification categories if your iPhone supports it (e.g., "News," "Promotions").
For Android Users:
Go to your Android phone's Settings app.
Tap on Apps & Notifications (or "Apps," "Applications," depending on your device).
Tap on See all apps (if needed) and find Webull in the list. Tap on it.
Tap on Notifications.
Here you can:
Toggle off All Webull notifications to block everything (again, use with caution).
You'll typically see a list of notification categories (channels) that Webull uses. These might include "General Notifications," "Price Alerts," "News," etc.
Toggle off the specific categories that are bothering you. This provides a more granular control than the global "turn off all" option.
Step 3: Managing Notifications on Webull Desktop Application
If you use the Webull desktop application, you'll need to adjust settings there as well, as they are often independent of the mobile app.
Open the Webull Desktop App: Launch the Webull desktop trading platform on your computer.
Access Settings: Look for a gear icon (Settings) or click on your profile icon (usually in the top right or bottom left) to access the settings menu.
Find Notification Preferences: Within the settings, search for Notifications, Alert Settings, or a similar option.
Customize Desktop Alerts:
Similar to the mobile app, you'll likely find categories like "Market," "Account," "News," and "System."
Review and uncheck the boxes next to the types of notifications you no longer wish to receive.
Pay particular attention to news feeds and general announcements, which can be quite intrusive on a desktop.
You may also find options for sound alerts – disable these if you want a silent trading environment.
Step 4: Managing Webull Email Notifications
While the in-app and desktop notifications are primary, Webull also sends emails. These can range from essential account statements to promotional material.
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Check Your Email Inbox: Open the email account associated with your Webull account.
Look for Webull Emails: Search for emails from Webull.
Find the Unsubscribe Link: At the bottom of promotional or news-related emails, you will typically find an unsubscribe link.
Click this link to manage your email preferences. You might be directed to a page where you can uncheck categories of emails you no longer want to receive (e.g., "Marketing Emails," "Newsletter," "Daily Digest").
Be cautious not to unsubscribe from essential account-related emails.
Mark as Spam (Last Resort): If you continue to receive unwanted promotional emails despite unsubscribing, you can mark them as spam in your email client. However, this should be a last resort, as it might inadvertently flag important legitimate emails from Webull as spam too.
Step 5: Review and Refine Your Notification Strategy
After going through all the steps, take some time to observe your new notification experience.
Monitor for a Few Days: See if you're still receiving unwanted alerts.
Adjust as Needed: If something is still slipping through, revisit the relevant section (mobile app settings, device settings, desktop settings, or email) and make further adjustments.
Balance Between Information and Peace: Remember that while turning off all notifications might seem appealing, you could miss crucial market movements or account updates. Strive for a balance that keeps you informed without overwhelming you.
By following these steps, you will gain significant control over the notifications you receive from Webull, leading to a more focused and less distracted trading experience.
