Just an FYI, if you still sport our old iOS app (the original one) on your iPhone, your notifs will no longer work. The App Store kicked us out last year due to the nature of our website. Even though many of you still kept the app on your phones since it was working, you will have to switch now. Our push certificates expired a few days ago, and that means your app will no longer notify you.
Do not worry!
You can still use SWAPD as an app via Apple’s new feature. If you follow this guide , your access to SWAPD will be precisely the same as the old app. It will be even better as it will have up to the date improvements.
For more info, please see:
Apple’s latest release of iOS and iPadOS introduces a feature that allows web apps added to your device’s home screen to send mobile web push notifications. Compatible websites like SWAPD can now function much like dedicated iOS apps, offering instant push notifications, a dedicated app icon, quick loading, and a clean interface without the URL bar.
How to Install SWAPD as an iOS App:
Note: Please delete any prior SWAPD apps from your phone before proceeding.
Launch the Safari browser on your…
Well, not entirely. But Apple finally caved in and allowed push notifications for websites. You can install any compatible website as an app. It will:
Include the branding of the website
Provide instant push notifications
Feature the websites logo as an app
Load without any browser addons (URL bar/back and forward button)
It feels and behaves just like our old app! No more Discourse Hub notif lag !

Exactly. We finally can force users to do something they don’t want!
Notifications are bugging for me on the new app as well. I’ve followed the steps but I don’t recieve any notifications from the app - just from Gmail.
Is it only me or others are experiencing the same?

Try disabling and enabling notifications (it helps) in your SWAPD settings.

The app (home page app addon) now sends notifs (realtime) so no need to do telegram.
That’s sad. I had it for years…
Gonna keep it anyways.
