Web push title (Chrome, macOS): questions
What is the Web push title (Chrome, macOS) limit?
43 characters. About 43 characters of title show in Chrome notifications on a Mac.
Is the web push limit the same on Windows?
No. This page models Chrome on macOS; Windows notifications have a different layout and width, so check the screen your visitors use most.
What happens if my notification title is too long?
Chrome on macOS still shows it, but cuts it with “…”, and anything past the cut is invisible to most people.
Do spaces and emoji count?
Yes. Spaces and punctuation count as one character each; an emoji counts as one character here.
