Now there are two important configurations that you should check if they are configured correctly (if you want to stay up to date with the different things in your digital life): notifications and haptic alerts. In the wearable, you can also receive notifications with haptic alerts for many things that come to you, such as a text message or a phone call. To ensure that notifications are passed on, Bluetooth must be enabled on the Microsoft Band and on your phone. In contrast, airplane mode must be disabled.

To check these settings on your Microsoft Band, tap the Settings tile on the Home bar, go to Bluetooth and make sure the setting is On or Off. Then go back to the Settings tile, navigate to Airplane Mode and make sure it is turned off if you want notifications to work.

If you want to configure certain notifications to come through the band, you can simply click Edit next to the name of the tile you don't want to receive notifications from in the Manage Tiles app in Microsoft Health and change the setting.
