GBAtemp now has push notifications enabled so you can receive push notifications on both desktop and mobile for your forum alerts.
What are Push Notifications?
If logged in, push notifications enable you to keep track of your GBAtemp alerts such as new private messages, likes received and others replying or quoting to you.
Push notifications will be sent to your compatible browser on a supported device (see below) even when you are not actively browsing the site.
Please be aware that push notifications are not instantaneous and are delayed beyond your normal forum alerts by up to a minute.
How do I enable Push Notifications?
Starting today, when visiting GBAtemp and logged in you should be prompted with the following message:
Click 'Allow' and a prompt from your browser should follow to whitelist GBAtemp for push notifications. That's it!
Can I change which Push notifications I receive?
You will receive the same alerts you would for forum alerts. These can be configured in your Alert Preferences.
Push Notifications aren't working for me
