“You need to choose notifications mode – instant or periodic push notifications, or periodic background refresh that does not use push notifications. To deliver the notifications to iOS devices we use our notification server, as there is a single private key that Apple issues for the app. For periodic notifications to work the app has to be in the background – if the app is completely stopped (removed from recent apps), it will not check the new messages and you will not receive notifications. Instant notifications work even when the app is completely stopped.”
