Configuring notifications for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android

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

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

• App notifications. These notifications inform the device user about the application (for example, threat detection).
• Pop-up messages. Pop-up messages require action from the device user (for example, 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.

1. In the console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group to which the Android devices belong.
2. In the workspace of the group, select the Policies tab.

   Kaspersky experts recommended that you enable notifications and pop-up messages.
