On iOS there is https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10113/

On Android, others users MQTT protocol.

Currently, pushover stores messages in plaintext format, but it seems they are encrypted prior to being sent to apple/android pus services. This means that messages can be intercepted should pushover be breached, or where pushover staff act maliciously (to be clear, it’s the possibility that it could happen which is an issue, I am not saying pushover staff are untrustworthy).

I would like the ability to encrypt messages prior to sending them to pushover, that way the above scenarios would be solved provided the secret is not shared with pushover.

I use Make.com and I am limited to 1024 characters. This means I am limited in the information I can send myself. Some URLs created, which I turn into easy link via HTML can take up a lof of those characters. 

I use Pushover with Make.com so I cannot get a file path for an image. Only a URL. Being able to attach an image via URL will massively increase the ease of use for Pushover. At the moment I am looking at alternative services that allow notifications with Images via URLs

Please support live activities on iOS 16.

I am trying to use Pushover to locate my Iphone if it is lost.  I just learned about critical alerts, which allow me to play a sound on the iphone even if it is in vibrate, which is awesome.  However, I would like to play a sound on loop until the phone is found.  There appears to be an option to do this in pushover but there is a long delay between playing of a sound.   Is there a way to just keep a sound going without delay between playing of the sound?

A similar request (same subject) was declined in past because of missing support in iOS, but it seems to be possible to implement in iOS now.

I came across other 2 competing apps that support this functionality also on iOS, I also tested that. It is possible to add multiple action buttons in notification with custom names. These actions may call URL or make a HTTP request (e.g. POST request). Unfortunately Pushover misses this functionality (probably only this one, I have no other reasons to go with competitors).

Would you check it please, it seems it is now possible to

I receive many messages from my smart home and its annoying that valuable space ist wasted on top and left of the widget. 

So I would really like to have two options:

1. Disabling the whole header

2. Disabling Pushover symbol in front of every message

Nevertheless Pushover is a great App that I used over years and many Android versions. 

When creating a message through the API, can we specify a URL for the sound? eg. https://domain.com/media/sound1.mp3 Either this, or can we upload sounds to our account through the API? Use case examples: 1 • We then can use their own sound library  2 • We could then use a text to voice converter, save it as a mp3, then send the push notification. Resulting in reading the message out aloud. 3 • Clients could play whole songs as an alert using their own library 4.• Developers could dynamically merge a few short mp3 sounds into one mp3 before sending the message.

I would love to have multiple different complications, not just these: 

• title (100 characters) - a description of the data being shown, such as "Widgets Sold"
• text (100 characters) - the main line of data, used on most screens
• subtext (100 characters) - a second line of data
• count (integer, may be negative) - shown on smaller screens; useful for simple counts
• percent

My use-case is to clear all seen notifications. In order to make it more convenient, it makes sense to have a clear-all button in my opinion.

If the android widget is on top of the screen, it would be useful for the stack to be reversed. So the newest notification is on the bottom of the widget.

This would allow, for example, me to synchronize my DND status on iOS with DND status of Pushover service (through Shortcuts app).

message type that only can be read on the lock screen or pop up.. and will not be saved to app

It would be great to be able to blanket send an api request to acknowledge all emergency priority notifications for an account that are currently active. The tags option is okay, but if something is sent via email gateway it doesn't look like there is a way to add tags to the messages and really I would just be adding the same tag to every message as a workaround.

Please can this be added or set to auto detect time (time zone) on current iPhone or other device, my time stamps are currently 1 hour earlier than the actual push event.

The title says it all. A menu item in the app and/or the web page which allows exporting all messages as text/csv/json whatever

I use Pushover to notify me of security events like my Garage door,  front door, and storage being opened. It would be nice if they could appear in Android Auto and read out loud when I'm driving. I assume this would have to act like a messaging app in Android Auto, such as What'sApp, SMS etc.

I'm a big fan with just a glance to see which message or what content the message is about. Individually adjustable icons for each message would help a lot. Makable?
