    Those aren’t the same, they require the browser to be open.

    I don’t know if that means it works with a tab in the background though if the browser is open but you aren’t on their page, but it’d make sense if it did work that way.

    Edit: Further looking at this, maybe that’s just on Android. They might work on iOS as expected but only if you add the web app to your home screen as an app, and that’s only in 2023 when iOS 16.4 was released.

    Edit: Okay it looks like it should work on Android too, I saw some older stuff. I’m seeing some complaints about delivery times though not being immediate.

      It usually works well on Android. I use it on a few forums.

      I’m seeing some complaints about delivery times though not being immediate.

      That’s the same with every Android app, though. When you’re not actively using your phone, some apps are put to sleep, which also stops their notifications. Very common on Samsung phones especially. You can usually add an app (or installed PWA) to a list of apps that you don’t want to sleep.
