Web Push

Web Push is for delivering real-time, targeted messages directly in the browser. Use it to bring users back to your site, highlight promotions, share time-sensitive updates, and engage visitors without requiring an app. Campaigns can be personalized, timed, and measured for impact, with support for rich formats, interactive prompts, and mobile web push on iOS.

Users must add your website to their home screen, then opt in.

Key points:

• Requires iOS/iPadOS 16.4+ and Safari home screen web app flow

• Opt-in happens from the home screen app (not regular Safari tabs)

• You can target these users by filtering Safari + Mobile

Full setup: Mobile Web Push for iOS.
