App Push Notifications

App push notifications are messages that pop up on a user's mobile device and are used for alerting or communicating with users in real-time. Push notifications are delivered instantly to a mobile device, regardless of whether the device is locked or unlocked. Push notifications are delivered even if the user is in a different app or away from the app sending the push notification. A notification is received if the app is in:

Background - The user opened the app and moved away from it. The app can still be opened from the Recents apps window.

Foreground - User has the app open on the device and is currently interacting with it.

Killed - App is closed and removed from the recent app window. No background activity is running for the app.

How will the subscriber journey be like?

🚧

Once your App is Integrated with iZooto, you need to push an update of your application to the Play Store (Android) or App Store (Apple).

For Android

Android considers an app download as consent to receive push notifications. No explicit consent is required (Android 12 and below). This means that once a user downloads and installs your iZooto integrated application, they’ll be automatically opted in to receive notifications. They would have to launch (open) your application at least once for the handshake to happen.

This behaviour is set to change with Android 13 as Google has announced that developers will have to explicitly ask for permissions to send push notifications. Details are available here.

For iOS

iOS will present the users, who download your application with an opt-in prompt which looks as follows:

By default, this opt-in is shown when the app is opened for the first time. Users can click on "Allow" to start receiving notifications and he/she would be considered as a subscriber the count of which would increase in the iZooto Dashboard.
