Your Notification Center is where APOB keeps you up to date — when your model finishes training, when a generation is ready, when someone follows you or likes your work, and when something happens to your credits, payments, or subscription. The notification (envelope) badge tells you that you have unread items — on mobile it shows the count, while on desktop it's just a red dot — and the Notification Center lets you read, filter, and clear them.
How do I open my notifications?
On desktop, open your profile/account menu and click Notification Center — there's a little envelope row with the same label. On mobile, tap your avatar in the top-right of the home screen to open your account menu, then choose Notification Center. Either way it opens the full Notification Center, which loads your most recent notifications automatically.
How do I know if I have new notifications?
A small red badge appears on your avatar (and on the Notification Center menu row) whenever you have unread notifications. On mobile, the avatar badge shows the exact unread count and becomes a plain dot (not 99+) once you pass 99. On desktop, the avatar and Notification Center row simply show a red dot when you have unread items, with no number. The only place 99+ appears is the mobile account-menu Notification Center row. When you have nothing unread, the badge is hidden.
What do the category tabs do?
At the top of the Notification Center there's a category switch so you can filter what you see. The tabs are:
All — every notification, no filtering.
Generation — model creation and content/video generation updates (success and failure), plus alerts when someone uses your model to generate.
Social — follows, likes (on your model, content, or comments), and comments/replies on your model or content.
System — payments, credit refills, subscription changes, and auto-reload results.
Tap a tab to switch; the list reloads to show only that category. All is selected by default.
What kinds of notifications will I get?
Notifications fall into the three categories above. The most common ones are:
Generation: "Model created successfully", "Model creation failed", "Your content generation is finished", "Your content generation failed", and "[someone] used your model to complete the generation!"
Social: "[someone] followed you!", "liked your model!", "liked your content!", "liked your comment!", and comment/reply notifications that show a preview of the comment text.
System: "Payment successful! Thank you for your purchase!", "Payment failed. Please try again or use a different payment method.", "Your credits have been refilled.", "You have successfully upgraded to [plan]", "Your auto-reload completed successfully.", and "Your auto-reload failed."
What happens when I click a notification?
Clicking a notification marks it as read and takes you to whatever it's about:
Follow notifications open the profile of the person who followed you. "Like" notifications open the liked model, content, or comment when you click the card, and open the liker's profile only when you click their avatar.
A finished content/video generation opens that content's detail view (if there's a single result), and clicking the small thumbnail opens that specific result. Clicking the avatar takes you back into the create screen for the model used.
A "model created successfully" notification opens the create screen for your new model.
A "model creation failed" or "content generation failed" notification offers a Retry button so you can jump straight back to trying again.
Comment and reply notifications open the model or content the comment is on; the avatar opens the commenter's profile.
Payment, credits, subscription, and auto-reload notifications open your profile/account area where the relevant details live.
How do I tell which notifications I haven't read yet?
Unread notifications show a small red dot next to the sender's avatar; read ones don't. Opening a notification (or clicking it through to its destination) clears that dot.
How do I mark a single notification as read?
On desktop, hover over the notification and use the read (envelope-style) icon that appears on the right of the card. On mobile, tap the ••• more button on the card and choose Mark as read. Either action marks just that one as read and updates your unread badge.
How do I mark everything as read?
Use the mark-all-read icon at the top of the Notification Center (the read/envelope icon in the header). It marks every notification as read at once, and you'll see the confirmation "All notifications marked as read." Your unread badge clears immediately.
How do I delete a notification?
On desktop, hover the notification and click the delete (trash) icon next to the read icon. On mobile, tap the ••• more button and choose Delete. The notification is removed from the list and you'll see "Deleted." confirming it. There's no separate "delete all" — you remove them one at a time.
What's the difference between marking as read and deleting?
Marking as read keeps the notification in your list but clears its unread dot (and lowers your unread count). Deleting removes the notification from the list entirely. Deleting an unread notification also lowers your unread count.
What do I see when I have no notifications?
If there's nothing to show, the Notification Center displays "No notice here now" in the center of the screen. This also applies per category — if a category has no items, you'll see the same empty message while that tab is selected.
Why does it show a spinner when I open it?
When you first open the Notification Center (or switch categories), it fetches your notifications and shows a loading spinner until the first batch arrives. Once notifications load, the spinner is replaced by your list; if nothing comes back, you'll see the "No notice here now" empty state instead.
How many notifications load at once? Do I need to click "next page"?
No — the list loads more automatically as you scroll. Notifications come in batches of about 10, and when you scroll near the bottom the next batch loads on its own (infinite scroll) until there's nothing left.
What does the avatar on each notification mean?
Each notification shows an avatar for whoever or whatever it came from:
A person — another user, shown as a round avatar; clicking it opens their profile.
A model — shown as a rounded-square thumbnail.
System information — official system messages, labeled "System information".
APOB (Official) — messages from the APOB team, shown with an Official badge next to the name.
If a notification's source can't be identified, the name shows as "Unknown".
Why does a generation notification show a broken-image thumbnail?
If the content a notification points to was deleted after the notification was created, its thumbnail shows a placeholder with "Content deleted" (or "Model deleted" for a model preview). The notification stays in your list, but there's nothing left to open.
On mobile
The Notification Center takes over the full screen on mobile. The category tabs (All / Generation / Social / System) sit at the top, and there's a mark-all-read icon in the top-right of the header. To act on a single notification, tap its ••• more button to open a sheet with Mark as read and Delete. Your unread count rides on your avatar in the home header as a badge (a number, or a dot once you're past 99).
