And what other arbitrary features should Apple be "forced" to build.
Especially ones like push notifications which in many cases are harmful to consumers.
- darwinwhy 6y agoI'd much rather get my push notifications from Facebook Messenger through mobile Safari than be forced to install the full iOS app.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoIt should be up to device owners, not Apple to decide what services can send push notifications to device. On macOS, you can run a background service that listens to whatever the user needs. But on iOS, Apple behaves like it owns the device even after sale. This is not acceptable.
- Osiris 6y agoIt sounds more like removing restrictions than ADDING features. Push notifications already exist but with arbitrary restrictions. They don't have to "build" anything.
- sneak 6y agoiOS push notifications from developers all go to Apple first, as the phones only maintain a connection to Apple. Every push notification goes through Apple servers only. They’d have to build a feature into iOS to allow it to maintain persistent connections to other notification services.
