### Firebase + Instant delivery
|
||||
### Instant delivery
|
||||
Instant delivery is allows you to receive messages on your phone instantly, **even when your phone is in doze mode**, i.e.
|
||||
when the screen turns off, and you leave it on the desk for a while. This is achieved with a foreground service, which
|
||||
you'll see as a permanent notification that looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<figure markdown>
|
||||
![foreground service](../static/img/foreground-service.png){ width=500 }
|
||||
<figcaption>Instant delivery foreground notification</figcaption>
|
||||
</figure>
|
||||
|
||||
Android does not allow you to dismiss this notification, unless you turn off the notification channel in the settings.
|
||||
To do so, long-press on the foreground notification (screenshot above) and navigate to the settings. Then toggle the
|
||||
"Subscription Service" off:
|
||||
|
||||
<figure markdown>
|
||||
![foreground service](../static/img/notification-settings.png){ width=500 }
|
||||
<figcaption>Turning off the persistent instant delivery notification</figcaption>
|
||||
</figure>
|
||||
|
||||
### Limitations without instant delivery
|
||||
Without instant delivery, **messages may arrive with a significant delay** (sometimes many minutes, or even hours later). If you've ever picked up your phone and
|
||||
suddenly had 10 messages that were sent long before you know what I'm talking about.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason for this is [Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging). FCM is the
|
||||
*only* Google approved way to send push messages to Android devices, and it's what pretty much all apps use to deliver push
|
||||
notifications. Firebase is overall pretty bad at delivering messages in time, but on Android, most apps are stuck with it.
|
||||
|
||||
The ntfy Android app uses Firebase only for the main host `ntfy.sh`, and only in the Google Play flavor of the app.
|
||||
It won't use Firebase for any self-hosted servers, and not at all in the the F-Droid flavor.

## iPhone/iOS

||||
I almost feel devious for putting the *Download on the App Store* button on this page. Currently, there is no iOS app
