Safe Trip alert Persistent Android Notification
Last Update:May 17 2024 5:18pmWhy do I see a persistent notification?
The persistent notification is an Android system feature that lets you know that the WHISTLE™ app is running even when you don't have the app open. Whistle devices do this so we can look for your pet and connect to their device when you leave a Safe Place together.
All apps that run in the background will use some of your phone's battery.
