FAQ

iOS push title: questions

What is the iOS push title limit?

About 41 characters (295px). iOS shows one line of title — reported at 25–50 characters depending on the letters. Modeled at about 40 average characters on a 6.1" iPhone.

What happens if my notification title is too long?

iPhone lock screen 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.
