Reapers

Forums.grimreapergamers.com now supports push notifications on Android. Pending your mobile browser supports it. Currently supported ones are Chrome, Samsung Internet, Firefox, Edge and UC Browser.

To enable: Make sure that you turn on “Enable Notifications” under Live Notifications in your Profile > Preferences > Notifications. You must do this on your mobile browser.

You will then start to see notifications as people either Mention, PM or reply to a thread you are watching.

Apple Users: Sorry but this not yet supported as Apple has to be different and not use the standard Push API. Alternatively I would suggest downloading the Discourse App off the App Store. This will poll the site for updates and provide notifications that way.

Is that a Safari issue or an iOS issue? Can iPhone users load Chrome and have access to notifications?

That’s a good question. I know Safari does not support it from the browser perspective. So it may work if they load chrome.

On the other side I have heard that iOS does not allow push notification through any browser and only through an app. But am not 100% sure that is the case. If someone has an iPhone and wanted to test it out with the Chrome browser that would be super.
