How to Implement Push Notification using Firebase in React Native 0.60+ (iOS) — Neova Solutions
What is a push notification? And why it matters?
Push notification is a message that pops-up on your mobile device even when you are not using the app. For app publishers, it is a gateway to speak directly with app users. Examples include getting a notification when a transaction is performed or getting a new offer from your online retailer — these notifications popup only for Apps that are previously installed on the device.
