Supporting push notifications at large scale has been incredibly complicated for mobile app developers. Each popular mobile platform maintains a different free relay service that delivers notifications through persistent connections to devices running the platforms they own. This means that to support millions of users on multiple mobile platforms, developers must integrate with each of these platform-specific relay services, which introduces operational complexity and cost. In addition, the nature of mobile app distribution is such that successful apps can become popular almost overnight, exacerbating these challenges for customers.
From the sender’s viewpoint, SNS acts as a single message bus that can message to a wide variety of devices and platforms like Apple, Google, UC browser etc. A single code interface can address all of these equally, or message formats can be tailored to the particular needs of each platform
