Since downloading the latest upgrade to the app on my iPhone, I can't figure out how to "clear" notifications (the number in the red bubble next to the app's pic). They just keep accumulating. How can I clear them? Thanks!

If you only want to remove the notification badge depicting the amount of notifications. You can do that via the Settings (Settings - Notifications - BariatricPal and then disable the toggle next to "Badge App Icon".)

I did that as a temporary measure, but I'd still like to actually get notifications. I just want them to actually clear after I go in the app and see whatever it is the notification is for. All other apps clear and this one used to before the update, so the accumulating, never-clearing notifications seem like a flaw.

Yeah, but the app should be clearing them when you open it up. That's how other apps work Something to fix for the next update.

While on the subject of notifications, it would be nice if the items in the menu would badge as well... Particularly notifications. And it would also be cool if the Subscribed link at the top would indicate if there are any unread posts in there

Thanks again for the big update. I'm a software engineer and tester so I appreciate the effort!

Alex, how do you put a picture from your gallery in a post? I do like being able to put a picture from my phone in a post BTW

You have the option of posting a pic that's in your phones gallery or you can take a new pic:

I can't seem to figure it out myself! Asking for some help and will let you know once they respond.

I'm on android and can't seem to find where my notifications are. It used to be on the left sidebar, but now that isn't one of the options to choose.

Hi there. There isn't a help section that I can find. I love the app but have questions like how to update my profile to put in my age and change to post op. But when I click it doesn't move forward. Is there going to be a help section soon?

Your best bet is to update that info from your desktop computer. We are working on making it simpler to update that info from the app, thanks!

It looks like the app was updated again and I can't find the "Search" feature. It used to be in the dropdown menu in the top right corner. I'm on iOS. Did the new update get rid of this?

The search is missing on my iOS also

It's a shame. It was definitely the most used feature for me on the app... especially when I was recovering from surgery and was feeling so terrible I couldn't even use my computer.
