Hy Suneelak,
I agree with @Saniyag; mobile websites typically cannot send push notifications directly to users’ devices. Push notifications require the infrastructure and capabilities of mobile operating systems (like iOS and Android) to deliver messages even when the app is not actively in use. On the other hand, mobile apps can leverage push notification services provided by these platforms to engage users and drive re-engagement with personalized content and updates.
Devan Skeem,
Mobile websites rely on web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which are executed within the browser environment. Unlike native mobile apps that can utilize platform-specific APIs for push notifications, mobile websites lack direct access to device-level features such as push notification services. This limitation makes push notifications a feature exclusive to mobile apps, ensuring they can deliver real-time alerts and updates to users effectively.
