  1. Open the Roku app on your mobile device.
  2. Tap Account in the bottom-right corner.
  3. Choose Notifications.
  4. Follow the shortcut to your device notifications to enable or disable Roku notifications.

What will Roku send you notifications about?

Roku will send notifications about new programming options on The Roku Channel, including the release of new originals, programming on FAST channels the streamer wants to recommend, and other notices about TV shows and movies on the platform.

If you have a Roku device, the app may also send you word about new software updates and other information about your player or TV you need to know.
