A few things to know about push notifications:
• For teens between the ages of 13 to 15 years, the scheduled time is set from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. by default. This setting can't be changed.
• For teens between the ages of 16 to 17 years, the scheduled time is set from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. by default. This setting can't be changed.
• If you're a parent or guardian, you can schedule additional time to mute your teen's push notifications in Family Pairing. Keep in mind that the default scheduled time overrides any custom time that overlaps with the default time. For example, if you set your 13-year-old teen's scheduled time from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., the default time from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. will override your setting.
