Push notifications: new delivery options and controls

We've introduced new additions to Appwrite Messaging that give you greater control over how you send and handle push notifications in your apps.

What's new

  • Background updates for iOS: We've added support for silent background updates on iOS, with equivalent data-only notifications available for Android.
  • Critical alerts for iOS: You can now send notifications that bypass Do Not Disturb and notification settings.
  • Priority controls for all platforms: We've added options to manage delivery speed and battery usage across platforms.
  • Badge numbers for iOS: The badge parameter now accepts integers instead of strings for better type safety.
  • Optional title and body for all platforms: You can now send notifications without title and body for background and data-only updates.

These updates will help you build better notification experiences for your users. Try them out and share your feedback with us.
