# In-App Notifications

> Understand how BeatPass in-app notifications work in the bell menu and notifications page.

In-app notifications are the notifications you review directly inside BeatPass through the bell icon and the `/notifications` page.

***

## What In-App Notifications Include

* unread badge counts on the bell icon
* recent notifications in the bell popover
* a full notifications page
* click-through links to the destination item
* inline actions for some notification types, such as playlist invites

***

## Marking Notifications As Read

There are two read-management flows in the current UI:

* **Bell menu -> Mark all:** marks all unread notifications as read
* **`/notifications` -> Mark all as read:** marks the currently loaded page of notifications as read

Clicking an individual notification also marks it as read before navigating.

***

## When To Prefer In-App

In-app notifications are a good default when you want:

* lower interruption than browser push
* a reviewable history inside BeatPass
* quick access to related content from the notification list
