Meetup enables organizers and group members to select which notifications they receive and on which device they'd prefer to receive them.

Email updates are delivered to your email address inbox.

Push notifications appear on your mobile device.

On-site notifications are seen in the notifications tab in the Meetup app or in the notifications on the Meetup website.

In most cases, when you enable a push notification you’ll no longer receive the email that corresponds to that notification. You can always manage which email updates and push notifications you receive. If you'd prefer to receive an email update, make sure to opt out receiving that type of push notification. Some notifications cannot be disabled.

Managing your email settings will stop you from receiving certain updates including messages, replies, comments, tagged photos, product news, and group suggestions. 

It’s not possible to opt out of all Meetup emails, as we need to make sure we can reach you with important information about your account, security, privacy, policies, and payments. 

To stop receiving all Meetup emails you'll need to deactivate your account.

Note: You can only edit your push notification settings through the Android or iOS apps.

Push notifications are sent directly to your mobile device to help you stay up to the minute on the latest activity in your Meetup groups.
