Web Push for Safari

Probably 90% of the things that currently use SMS. Carriers keep hiking fees for sms, so this is a natural path for Devs.

Carriers in the US charging for SMS? That hasn’t been a thing for years.

Sure they do. Just ask twilio or nexmo. I get billed every month for sending sms from my app (pass thru carrier fees)

You mean sending SMS as an app developer. Makes sense

Absolutely.

Especially with all the additional fees carriers are tacking on these days under the guise of reducing spam.

Or people will get so inundated with spammy notifications on websites asking for permission to send notifications they will just disable them globally (like I will).
