Mobile Push Notifications

TeamSnap uses mobile push notifications to deliver messages in a snap!

What is a push notification?

A push notification is a message that pops up on a user's mobile device and will only appear if the recipient has the iOS or Android TeamSnap mobile app installed and push notifications enabled on their device and in the TeamSnap app for the specific type of notification.
