How to use Noor

Everything explained simply, with pictures — the same guides live inside the app under Settings → How to use Noor (in 7 languages).

  2. Open Settings → Prayer settings → Location.
  3. Choose 'Use my location', or search for your city by name.

🔔 Reminders & the adhan
  1. Go to the Prayers tab.
  2. Tap the bell next to any prayer to cycle: off → notify → adhan.
  3. 'Adhan' plays the call to prayer — pick your favourite of the 13 voices in Settings → Prayer settings → Adhan voice.
  4. Want a heads-up before prayer? Turn on 'Early reminder' in Prayer settings.
🧩 Widgets on your home screen
  1. Widgets show your next prayer on the home screen without opening Noor.
  2. iPhone: press and hold the home screen, tap the + button, search 'Noor'.
