Common Questions & App Compatibility
Which devices and OS versions are compatible with Pingly?
Pingly is built to run seamlessly on modern mobile ecosystems. Currently, we support iOS 15.0 or later and Android 10.0 or higher. The app is also fully optimized for smartwatch synchronization across Apple Watch and WearOS devices.
Can I customize which contacts can break through silence?
Yes. Our 'Priority Whitelist' feature allows you to select specific individuals or app categories that are exempt from your quiet mode settings. This ensures that urgent family calls or work alerts always reach you instantly.
How does the app minimize unnecessary battery usage?
Pingly utilizes low-energy background processing that only activates when a notification is received. By preventing your screen from lighting up for non-priority alerts, many users experience a net gain in daily battery life.
Is my notification data kept private and secure?
Your privacy is our primary objective. Pingly processes notifications locally on your device whenever possible. Any data synced for multi-device support is protected with end-to-end encryption and never shared with third parties.
Can I schedule silent hours automatically?
Absolutely. You can set up recurring focused blocks—such as work hours or deep sleep—within the settings dashboard. Pingly will automatically activate your preferred filters during these times, storing non-urgent alerts for later review.
