Summary

In August 2015, the Ionic Platform team announced significant enhancements to their Push notification service, showcasing a remarkable growth to over a million notifications sent, a 200% monthly increase. The improvements aimed to simplify and enhance the service's usability for developers by introducing features such as the ability to send notifications from the dashboard to all app users, schedule notifications for future delivery, and target users across multiple devices using Ionic User IDs instead of device tokens. The team credited their alpha testers for valuable feedback and outlined plans for future advancements, including a modernized plugin and an updated JavaScript API for the Ionic User service, with more updates promised in their Ionic Bonds series. Users were encouraged to explore the new features through updated documentation and subscribe for further updates.
