Starting January 16, 2021, Canvas will support push notifications in the Canvas Student app related to announcements, assignments, events, conversations, and collaborations. Details about each of these notification types can be found in the Canvas Notifications PDF.
Note to Faculty & Staff

Please note: Email notifications in Canvas aren’t going away, but to reach more students, you may want to encourage them to utilize push notifications on the Canvas Student app.
