Where do my buddies' new badges and reactions show up?
In the notification bell on Home, under From your buddies, below anything waiting for your answer. A buddy's new badge shows the badge with six reactions: 🎉, 🎊, 🔥, 👏, 👍, and 🙌. Tap one to encourage them right away. After that, the row shows what you sent; tap Change to pick another. Tap the row or its badge to see the badge full screen, marked New if you hadn't seen it yet. Several badges from one buddy within a day share one row. When a buddy reacts to one of your badges, tap it to open your badge with every buddy's reaction. Buddies' news never adds to the red number on the bell or the app icon; a small dot on the bell means something new from your buddies. It says only Today, This week, or Earlier, never the time. Dismiss it with X or Clear All, or let it clear on its own after 30 days. It shows only for your current buddies, wherever Buddies is available, on iPhone, iPad, and Android, and only while Show badges is on. To stop the alerts but keep the news in the bell, turn off Badge Alerts in Buddies Settings. If you're offline, your reaction is saved and sent when you're back online. When you get a new badge yourself and share badges with your buddies, the New badge card says who will see it, like “Ben and Grace will see it.” To stop sharing badges, turn off Badges in Buddies Settings.
