Using Hilight on your mobile device
The Hilight app is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play!
You can find the app by searching for "Hilight for Schools" on the Apple App Store and on Google Play, or by clicking one of the the below download links:![]()
Enabling Mobile Notifications
Stay up to date on the recognition happening at your school. Hilight can send you mobile push notifications when you receive a hilight or when a colleague celebrates one of your hilights.
When you first log in to Hilight when using the mobile app, you'll see a prompt asking if you'd like to turn on notifications.
- Tap "Turn on Notifications" when the Hilight prompt appears
- Tap "Allow" on your device's system prompt to grant notification permissions.
- You're all set! You'll start receiving notifications on your mobile device
Customize your Notification Preferences
You can choose which notifications you receive and how: in-app, by email, or via mobile. To manage your preferences:
- Go to the Account page by tapping Account on the purple side bar or in the mobile drop down menu.
- Click the Notifications tab at the top
- Toggle each notification type on or off for In-App, Email, and Mobile channels
Didn't see the prompt? Enable notifications manually
If you dismissed the in-app prompt on your phone or didn't see it, you can enable mobile notifications directly through your device settings:
On iPhone or iPad (iOS):
- Open Settings on your mobile device
- Scroll down through the apps until you see Hilight and tap it
- Tap Notifications
- Toggle Allow Notifications on
- Customize alert style, sounds, and badge preferences as desired
On Android:
