FAQ
Android push title: questions
What is the Android push title limit?
About 40 characters (256px). Modeled on a 360dp-wide phone: 16dp card margins, 16dp padding and a 40dp icon leave about 256dp for one line of Roboto 14sp.
What happens if my notification title is too long?
Android notification shade still shows it, but cuts it with “…” — anything past the cut is invisible to most people.
Why does the character count change?
This screen cuts by width, not characters. Wide letters like W and M use up to four times the room of i or l, so two texts of the same length can be cut in different places.
Can I check many at once?
Yes — upload a CSV or Excel file on the Bulk page and Truncly checks and fixes every row, then gives the file back with fixes added.
