General

What are Web Push Notifications?

Web Push Notifications are clickable messages that are delivered directly via your web browser, and can be received on desktops, tablets and smartphones (except iOS). 

Since Web Push Notifications are only sent after consent in the browser and do not require any personal contact data, they are very privacy-friendly.

 

Which browsers are supported?

The BMW.com website currently supports Chrome 44+, Firefox 46+, and Safari 11.1+.

 

What are the remaining requirements?  

The browser must not be in “incognito” or “safe” mode, and Javascript must be allowed.
