Receiving notifications on your iOS device is easy, even if you are not a tech expert. In this guide, we will walk you through the process step-by-step. By following the instructions below, you'll be able to receive push notifications from https://www.iraepstein.com in just a few minutes. Please note - you must be a current subscriber in order to login and receive the notifications.

Step 1: Enable Notifications for Safari in iOS Settings

The first step is to make sure your device is set up to receive notifications from Safari. Follow these steps to turn them on:

  • Settings
  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  • Settings
  • Scroll down and tap on Safari.
  • Advanced
  • In the Safari settings, scroll down and tap the Advanced option.
  • Feature Flags
  • In Advanced settings, scroll down and tap the Feature Flags option.
  • Notifications
  • In the WebKit Feature Flags, scroll down to find the Notifications option. Make sure the switch is green and enabled.
  • If they are disabled, tap the switch to turn them on.

This ensures your device will allow websites like https://www.iraepstein.com to send notifications to you.

Step 2: Visit the Website and Add it to Your Home Screen

Now that notifications are enabled, it’s time to visit the website:

  • It is important you complete this next step using the Safari browser. It will not work with Chrome or any other browser.
  • Safari
  • Open Safari and go to https://www.iraepstein.com.
  • Share Button
  • When the page loads, tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen. It looks like a square with an upward arrow.
  • Add to Homescreen
  • Scroll through the options and tap Add to Home Screen. This will save the website to your iPhone or iPad’s home screen as if it were an app.
  • A screen will appear with the website's name and address automatically filled in. You can change the name if you prefer, but it's not necessary. Once ready, tap Add.

The website will now appear as an icon on your home screen, similar to any other app.

Step 3: Close Safari and Open the App Icon

After adding the website to your home screen, you need to close Safari completely. Here’s how:

  • On older iPhones, double-tap the home button. On newer iPhones, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle to see all open apps.
  • Close Safari
  • Find Safari and swipe it upwards to close it completely.

App on Homescreen

Once Safari is closed, tap on the app icon for https://www.iraepstein.com that you just added to your home screen. This will open the website in standalone mode, just like a regular app.

Step 4: Log In to Your Account

After opening the app, you will need to log in:

  • Tap on the icon in the top corner to open the navigation menu. This is often referred to as a "menu" icon with three horizontal lines.
  • Member Login
  • Select the Member Login option from the menu.
  • Login Screen
  • Enter your username and password to log in to your account.

Step 5: Go to the Futures Chart Numbers Page

Once you’re logged in, you need to visit a specific page to enable notifications:

  • Open the navigation menu again by tapping the menu icon.
  • Numbers on Menu
  • Select the Futures Chart Numbers or SPDR-ETF Chart Numbers, depending on your subscription, page from the menu.

Visiting this page will trigger a pop-up asking if you would like to enable notifications.

Step 6: Enable Push Notifications

At the top of the Futures Numbers page, you will see a message prompting you to allow notifications. Follow these steps:

  • Popup Notification
  • Tap Yes when asked if you would like to receive notifications.
  • iOS Allow
  • iOS will then show a dialog asking for permission to send push notifications. Confirm that you want to allow them.

Step 7: Confirmation

Once you’ve allowed notifications, you should receive a confirmation message that says, "Success! This device is now setup for notifications"

Confirmation

This confirms that push notifications are now active. From this point on, you will receive notifications from the website directly on your iOS device.

You must leave the Ira Epstein app installed on your device to continue to receive the notifications. If you remove the app, you will no longer receive push notifications from Ira's website. Deleting the app has no effect on your subscription and does not constitute canceling your subscription.
