Need help with My Azaan? You're in the right place. Can't find your answer below? Email us at awaiskaleem@gmail.com and we'll get back to you.
Getting Started
Do I need to create an account?
No. My Azaan has no login, no sign-up, and no password. Open the app and it works.
How do I set my location?
Go to the Settings tab and either search for a city or country, or tap Use Current Location. Prayer times depend entirely on where you are, so this is the one thing worth getting right.
Does it work offline?
Yes. My Azaan fetches the year's timings for your location once, then stores them on your device. After that it works with no connection.
Prayer Times
Why does Asr fall at a different time than another app I use?
Asr depends on your Fiqh/Madhab (Settings → Fiqh / Madhab). Hanafi uses a longer shadow length than Shafi, Maliki and Hanbali, so Hanafi Asr falls later in the afternoon. This is a real difference in jurisprudence, not a bug — pick the one you follow.
Can I show times in 24-hour format?
Yes, in Settings → Time Format.
Which prayer is highlighted in gold?
The next prayer still ahead of you today.
Azaan & Notifications
Can I use a different sound for each prayer?
Yes. On the Home tab, tap the dropdown next to any prayer and choose Full Azaan, Beep, Vibrate, or Silent.
What is the Weekdays / Weekend switch?
It lets each prayer have two different sounds — one for weekdays and one for weekends — so you can, for example, wake to the full Azaan for Fajr on a weekend but only a discreet beep on a workday. Tap either side to switch which set you're editing; the small gold dot marks the set that applies today. Which days count as the weekend follows your device's region settings.
How do I change the Azaan voice?
Settings → Azaan Voice. Tap the play button to hear a voice before choosing it, and use the Standard / Fajr switch to preview both of its recordings — the Fajr Azaan includes the extra line "as-salatu khayrun min an-nawm", so it sounds different. Previews play even if your ringer is off.
Why does the notification play only the opening of the Azaan?
iOS limits any notification sound to 30 seconds, so the lock screen plays the opening "Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar". Tapping the notification opens the app and plays the complete recording.
My phone is on silent. Will I still be alerted?
With the ringer off, iOS suppresses the sound and vibrates instead, depending on your setting in iOS Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Haptics. This is handled by iOS, not by My Azaan, and your chosen sound is unchanged — turn the ringer back on and the Azaan plays again.
I'm not getting notifications at all.
Check iOS Settings → Notifications → My Azaan and make sure Allow Notifications is on. If you declined the prompt when you first opened the app, this is where to turn it back on.
Hadith of the Day
Where do the hadith come from?
From a collection bundled inside the app — Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, the four Sunan, Riyad as-Salihin and others. Only narrations graded sahih or hasan are included. Each one shows its source and in-book reference so you can look it up.
Why is it the same hadith all day?
It changes once a day rather than on every visit, so the Home screen stays calm. Tap the row to read the day's hadith in full.
Ads
Why does My Azaan show ads?
The app is free and has no purchases; a single banner at the bottom of the screen pays for it. The ads are non-personalized — My Azaan doesn't use your advertising identifier or track you to choose them — and there are no full-screen or interstitial ads, ever.
Privacy
My Azaan sends your location to a prayer-time service to calculate timings, and shows a non-personalized banner ad. It collects nothing else. See our Privacy Policy for details.
