Push Notifications
iOS push notifications are supported only in Output Messenger Server version 2.0.66 or later.
Push notifications work based on the following conditions:
- Single Device Login: Notifications are sent instantly when you are logged in on only one device.
- Multiple Device Login: When logged in on multiple devices, notifications are delivered at scheduled intervals to avoid duplication.
- Message Read Status: If a message is read on any logged-in device, the server will suppress the notification.
If you encounter a “Failed to Connect” error in the iOS Notification Service, please ensure the Output Messenger Server Service is running, or try clicking “Refresh Status” in the Server Manager.
