- CharlesW 2y agoI'm surprised you'd double down before trying it, or at least Googling it first. Web push notifications are first-class notifications. They support sound and vibration. Standard notification badges appear on their app icon. PWAs that use them appear in Settings > Notifications. Users get exactly the same controls over them that they do native apps. Etc. https://imgur.com/a/Ofg6oxo https://imgur.com/a/Ofg6oxo Try it yourself: https://progressier.com/pwa-capabilities/push-notifications https://progressier.com/pwa-capabilities/push-notifications
- Rohansi 2y agoI did Google it. Maybe it's changed more recently but shouldn't have ever been released like that. There's also concerns about PWAs on iOS in the EU. For a bit of time it was looking like you would no longer be able to add websites to your home screen, so maybe no more PWA push notifications? Not a stable foundation to build a PWA on. If it ever does get better I would love to get rid of React Native and just have a PWA.
