# How to allow users to unsubscribe from push notifications on Android?

## 1. Redirect users to the phone's settings (recommended)

To ensure consistency between the notification opt-in status shown in your app and the system settings, we recommend [redirecting users to the phone's settings](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings#ACTION_APP_NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS) to manage their notification preferences. To get the right toggle switch state, use [the following method](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/core/app/NotificationManagerCompat#areNotificationsEnabled\(\)).

## 2. Disable notifications display at the SDK level

On Android, the notifications display is managed at the SDK level. So, you can also choose to allow users to disable push notifications directly from the app (through a toggle system, for example):

* If you're using **SDK v3 or higher**, refer to our [managing notification display documentation](https://doc.batch.com/developer/sdk/android/advanced/customizing-notifications#managing-notification-display).
* If you are still using **version 2** of the Batch SDK, we encourage you to migrate to v3 following our [migration guide](https://doc.batch.com/developer/sdk/android/advanced/3x-migration#managing-notification-display).

You can call those methods whenever you want during the runtime of your application.
