Alerts aren't arriving
  • Open OSV Count and check that it says Closure alerts are on. If it doesn't, turn alerts on again.
  • Check that Do Not Disturb or a Focus mode isn't hiding them.
  • On iPhone, alerts belong to the Home Screen app. Deleting the app stops them; if you add it again, turn alerts back on.
