Configuring notifications on mobile devices

You can define these policy settings only for Android devices.

If you do not want the mobile device user to be distracted by Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android notifications, you can disable certain notifications.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the following tools to display the device protection status:

• Protection status notification. This notification is pinned to the notification bar. A protection status notification cannot be removed. The notification displays the device protection status (for example, ) and number of issues, if any. The device user can tap the device protection status and see the list of issues in the app.
• App notifications. These notifications inform the device user about the application (for example, threat detection).
• Pop-up messages. Pop-up messages require an action from the device user (for example, an action to take when a threat is detected).

All Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android notifications are enabled by default.

On Android 13, the device user should grant permission to send notifications during the Initial Configuration Wizard or later.

An Android device user can disable all notifications from Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android in the settings on the notification bar. If notifications are disabled, the user does not monitor the operation of the app and can ignore important information (for example, information about failures during device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center). In this case, to find out the app operating status, the user must open Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android.

To configure the display of notifications about the operation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android on a mobile device:

1. Open the policy properties window:
   • In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or Cloud Console, select Devices > Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
   • In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or Cloud Console, select Devices > Mobile > Devices. Click the mobile device that falls under the policy that you want to configure, and then select the policy on the Active policies and policy profiles tab.
2. In the policy properties page, select Application settings > Notifications and reports.
3. In the Notifications section, configure the display of notifications:
   • To hide all notifications and pop-up messages, disable the Display notifications when Kaspersky Endpoint Security is in the background toggle button.

     Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android will display the protection status notification only. The notification displays the device protection status (for example, ) and number of issues. The app also displays notifications when the user is working with the app (for example, the user updates anti-virus databases manually).

     Kaspersky experts recommend that you enable notifications and pop-up messages. If you disable notifications and pop-up messages when the app is in background mode, the app will not warn users about threats in real time. Mobile device users can learn about the device protection status only when they open the app.

   • In List of security issues displayed on users' devices, select the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android issues that you want to be displayed on the user's mobile device.
4. Click the Save button to save the changes you have made to the policy and exit the policy properties window.

Mobile device settings are configured after the next device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center.
