iOS 16.4 FINALLY allowing PWA push notifications

General
1

Not sure which category to push this in. Apple is finally allowing this! Starting in iOS 16.4, web apps saved to the home screen can now use push notifications. The web app cannot automatically force a push notification request message, the user has to interact with the app (for example, a button click), then the request to allow push notifications will come up. Apple says they’ll work the same as regular app notifications, and can even show notification badges on the app icon.

I just always see this question here and it’s been at the top of my wishlist for a while, so I’m happy to know it’s finally possible! Excited to see how Glide implements it :slight_smile:
