Behind the Scenes: Notifications and iOS Wrestling

This is the stuff nobody tweets about but everyone notices when it breaks. Behind-the-scenes work that makes the app feel right.

Push Notifications, Rebuilt

We rebuilt push notifications from the ground up. More reliable delivery. No duplicates — you won't get the same alert twice. Friend request buttons right in the notification so you can accept or decline without opening the app. Badges and unread counts stay in sync so you're not left guessing.

The iOS Keyboard Fix

If you've ever tried to reply on your iPhone and the keyboard hid the text field — yeah, we fixed that. Typing replies on iPhone no longer gets cut off. It was hours of work you'll never see, but you'll feel it every time you tap out a quick message between holes.

Event Notifications Refined

Tabs, expenses, tournament updates — we refined how those notifications land. Image attachments display correctly on iOS. Notification areas reworked so you can find what you need faster.

The Takeaway

A lot of what we ship is visible: new features, new screens, new ways to bet or track your rounds. But a big chunk of our time goes into making sure the basics work smoothly. When notifications land reliably and typing feels natural, that's the invisible work that matters. We'll keep at it so Clubhousen feels right no matter what device you use.
