MacOS for Safari

Apple has released iOS and iPadOS 16.4, which now supports web push notifications for web apps, including those on the home screen. This update allows websites to prompt users to opt-in and send notifications to iPhone and iPad users globally.

With iOS and iPadOS 16.4, push notifications are now supported on Safari, Google Chrome, and Edge for iPhone and iPad. This feature allows you to engage and target your customers with personalized notifications, even when they aren’t on your website.

On iOS, web push notifications work differently than on Android and desktop. Users must first add your website to their Home Screen and open the Web App. After doing so, they can grant permission, allowing your web app to function like a native app. It will appear separately in the app switcher, have its own notification settings, and receive notifications just like other apps.
