DCFC Fans iOS, iPadOS & macOS Notifications

[Day]

Yes, you heard me, with the latest iOS 16.4 update which was released today, Apple users can now receive push notifications from DCFC Fans, even when you are not online!

Tell me how David!

Ok.....

1 - Ensure your device is running the latest iOS 16.4 update.

2 - With this forum open in Safari, press the share icon 

Scroll down and press "Add to Home Screen"

This will place an app icon for a web app of this forum on your homepage.

3 - Open the forum using the app icon on your homepage, you will need to consent to cookies and sign in.

4 - Once signed in, open the notification bell and press "Notification Settings"

5 - Go through each category and select "Notification List + Push" on which push notifications you wish to receive.

7 - Your iPhone/iPad will ask you to allow notifications from this forum, press allow.

And with that, you are ready to be alerted on your phone from your favourite Derby County forum.

- Notification badges do not currently work, they use a separate API that will be enabled in the next forum software update that will be released soon.

I can answer this one.

Right, let's say you're after a ticket for Wembley, all sold out and you create a topic asking if anyone has a spare.

You can press follow on the topic.

Turn push notifications on for following topics.

The second a reply is made your phone/iPad will ping you with a notification without having to sit here all day refreshing the page.

Yes, you can have email notifications instead, yet with so much junk mail, to turn your email notifications on or even keep having to manually check can be a nightmare.

Thats one usage case.

Another is, you have an ego that likes to be massaged by internet likes, drop a cracking post winding up the Forest fans, turn your reaction notifications on for push and your phone will gently massage your leg with its soothing vibrations.

Many more usage cases to be found.

Thag gif would be better sent to someone like....Elon Musk 😜
