# Mobile push notifications arrive late

Asked by Laura Simmons on 2026-05-23 · 12 votes

Notifications on iOS sometimes show up ten to fifteen minutes after the actual event. Is this a known delay with push delivery?

Ten to fifteen minutes lines up with normal APNs batching under low urgency delivery, which we use for non-critical notifications to save battery. If you need faster delivery for a specific event type, let us know which one and we can look at bumping its priority.

Same delay on Android for us, figured it was just how push works.

iOS delay matches what we see too, seems consistent with normal low urgency push behavior.

If a specific notification type is time sensitive for you, tell us which one and we can look at bumping its delivery priority individually.

Same lag on our Android devices, seems consistent across platforms then.
