NotiRecall questions and answers
Can NotiRecall recover notifications from before I installed it?
No. NotiRecall starts remembering eligible notifications only after you accept the in-app disclosure, enable Android Notification Access, and select a source. Earlier notifications cannot be recovered.
Can NotiRecall recover deleted WhatsApp or other messages?
NotiRecall may retain eligible message content only if that content appeared in an Android notification while capture was enabled for that source. It cannot read or recover arbitrary messages from WhatsApp, Gmail, or another app’s private database.
What happens after I dismiss a notification?
If NotiRecall already saved an eligible snapshot, dismissing the Android notification does not remove the saved copy. It remains until its retention period ends or you delete it.
Is my notification history uploaded?
No. History, protected search, source choices, and discovered-app history stay on your device. A Pro purchase, restore, or status check sends only a content-free Google Play purchase token, fixed product and package identifiers, and a Play Integrity token for authoritative verification. Notification content is never part of that request.
Why is some notification text missing?
Android and each app decide what a notification exposes. Muted, grouped, replaced, hidden, ongoing, or privacy-redacted notifications may be incomplete or absent. App-specific settings can also prevent a notification from reaching NotiRecall.
Which apps does NotiRecall work with?
NotiRecall begins with common notification sources and can discover other apps after they post a notification. You decide which sources to enable. A newly seen app is listed, but its notification content is not saved until you turn it on.
Does NotiRecall scan every app installed on my phone?
No. It does not request broad installed-app inventory access. It keeps minimum protected source metadata for apps that Android exposes through the notification flow.
Are banking, payment, and authentication notifications saved?
Sensitive sources are kept off by default and require fresh confirmation before enabling. Best-effort one-time-code filtering can miss codes or reject ordinary numeric messages, so NotiRecall should not be treated as an authenticator or security archive.
How long is history kept?
Free lets you choose one, three, or seven days. Pro adds 30-day, 90-day, and unlimited local retention. Android may delay scheduled cleanup, and selecting a shorter period permanently removes older eligible history. You can also delete history manually at any time.
How does App Lock protect my history?
Saved history is encrypted locally. Optional App Lock additionally asks Android to confirm a supported biometric or secure device screen lock before NotiRecall displays protected content. NotiRecall does not receive or store biometric data.
Why can notification capture stop?
Android or your phone manufacturer may interrupt Notification Access after restarts, battery restrictions, security changes, or app updates. Capture Health shows the current access, capture, storage, and recovery checks.
Can I delete everything NotiRecall saved?
Yes. You can delete one notification, one source’s history, older history, or all saved history. Uninstalling the app removes its app-private data under Android’s normal removal behavior.
Do I need a NotiRecall account?
No account is required for the core experience.
What is NotiRecall Pro?
NotiRecall Pro is available now as an optional one-time Google Play purchase in the Android app. It unlocks unlimited remembered apps and 30-day, 90-day, or unlimited local retention, with no subscription. Google Play shows the eligible offer and localized price before you buy.
What happens if a Pro purchase is refunded, charged back, or revoked?
After Google Play and NotiRecall verify that Pro access ended, a fixed 30-day downgrade period begins. Existing remembered apps and history stay available during that period, but new Pro-only choices are paused. Tap the plan badge, then Check purchase status, to request a fresh check immediately. If more than three apps are enabled, you choose which three to keep. At the deadline, after a fresh verification, history older than the Free seven-day limit is removed. Restoring a valid purchase cancels the pending downgrade.
Is NotiRecall available on iPhone?
Not currently. NotiRecall is designed for Android.
