****Question**: My 8x8 app on my phone receives notifications for all calls. I only want notifications for some calls. How can I do this?**

**Answer**: It's not possible to limit notifications to specific calls. If a user's 8x8 Work notification settings are enabled, they will receive a notification for all calls, regardless of whether they are incoming directly to their extension or if the user is part of a ring group or assigned to a call queue.
