        <p>
          For best results on mobile, install this app on your device (as
          opposed to using it inside the browser app). In Chrome, it may prompt
          you, and you can also look for the "Install" command in the browser
          settings; on the the desktop, look for this icon in the address bar:
          <img
            src="../assets/help/chrome-install-pwa.png"
            alt="Chrome 'install' icon"
            class="ml-4"

      <div>
        <p>
          ... and it never stops, then there is a problem with the underlying
          service worker or push server mechanism in your browser. Your best bet
          is to follow the "Reinstall" steps below or use a different browser.
        </p>

        <p>
          In Apple iOS, check "Settings" -> "Notifications", look for the Time
          Safari app (or the browser you're using), and make sure notifications
          are enabled.
        </p>
        <p>
          In Android, hold on to the app icon, then select "App Info", then
          "Notifications" and make sure they're enabled. If it's still a problem
          then go further:
        </p>
        <p>
          If you installed the app with Chrome, make sure there are no other
          tabs with it open. Here are some ways to clear caches that can mess
          things up (and note that this clears out data from the installed app
          -- which is good to do while the app is installed):
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li class="list-disc ml-4">
            Go to Chrome "App Info", then "Storage & Cache" and "Clear Storage".
          </li>
          <li class="list-disc ml-4">
            Go to Chrome "Settings", then "Privacy and Security" and "Clear
            "Clear browsing data", then "Cookies and site data". Make sure the
            "Time Range" at the top shows "All time".
          </li>
        </ul>
        <p>
          On a Mac, go to "Settings" and check "Notifications".

          If all else fails, uninstall the app, ensure all the browser tabs with
          it are closed, and clear out caches and storage.
        </p>
        <p>
          Of course, you'll want to back up all your data first -- all seeds as
          well as the contacts & settings -- on the Account

            <ul>
              <li>
                In mobile, look for the browser app settings. This is true even
                for an installed app: go to the browser which you used to
                initially visit timesafari.app, because those settings affect
                the app. Look for "Delete browsing data" in the "Settings",
                under "Privacy and Security".
              </li>
              <li>
                In Chrome, go to `chrome://settings/cookies` and "all site data
                and permissions" for timesafari.app; in Firefox, go to
                `about:preferences` and search for "cache" then "Manage Data"
                for timesafari.app. Also manually remove the IndexedDB data if
                the DBs still show.)
              </li>
            </ul>
          </li>
          <li>
            Clear notification permission. (In Chrome, go to
            `chrome://settings/content/notifications`; in Firefox, go to
            `about:preferences` and search for "notifications".)
          </li>
          <li>
            Unregister service worker. (In Chrome, go to
            `chrome://serviceworker-internals/`; in Firefox, go to
            `about:serviceworkers`.)
          </li>
          <li>
            Clear "Cache Storage". (In Chrome, in dev tools under "Application";
            in Firefox, in dev tools under "Storage".)
          </li>
        </ul>
        <p>Then reinstall the app.</p>

        Send Test Notification Directly to Device (Not Through Push Server)
      </button>
      <p>
        If that didn't show a notification on your device, the problem is that
        your browser or your operating system are not allowing notifications
        through. See "Check App Permissions" and "Check Browser Permissions" and
        "Check Operating System (OS) Permissions" above.

        Client Filter)
      </button>
      <p>
        If that didn't show a notification on your device, there is a problem
        getting to the push server. Disable notifications and then enable them
        again.
      </p>

        Filter)
      </button>
      <p>
        If you don't see a message, it could be that there is nothing new for
        you to see. If the previous test worked, then things should work fine.
        If you notice a full 24 hours where you get no notification and you know
        that there are new items that should show, gather as many details as
        possible and go to the bottom of
