Set a daily prayer reminder
Get a reminder to pray at the same time each day.
Steps
- Tap Settings at the bottom of the screen.
- Under Notifications, turn on Enable Notifications. Allow notifications when your iPhone asks.
- Turn on Daily Prayer Reminder.
- Set Reminder Time to the time you want.
What the reminder looks like
At the time you set, your iPhone shows a notification titled Time to Pray that says “Take a moment to lift up your prayers today.” It plays the default sound and comes every day at that time until you turn it off. Tap it to open The Pray App, then tap Start praying on Today.
Common questions
Can I change the time later?
Yes. Go back to Settings and change Reminder Time. The new time replaces the old one, so you still get one reminder a day.
How do I stop the reminder?
Turn off Daily Prayer Reminder in Settings. The reminder stops right away, and you can turn it back on whenever you like.
Why don’t I get the reminder?
If you didn’t allow notifications when your iPhone asked, the app can’t send one. Open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap Notifications, tap The Pray App, and turn on Allow Notifications. A Focus, like Sleep or Do Not Disturb, can also silence it.
What time works best?
Pick a time you’re already awake and unhurried, like after your morning coffee or before bed. See a simple morning prayer routine.
Does the reminder come if I’ve already prayed?
Yes. The reminder comes every day at your time, even on days you’ve already prayed. Think of it as an invitation to come back, not a score to keep.
