This post is from the WWDC26 Notifications Q&A.

Years ago a notification evangelist had recommended supporting NotificationContentExtension and NotificationServiceExtension.

Fast forward to notification AI summaries, live activities, and lock screen widgets, iPhone mirroring, and all the others I'm missing, are there any other features developers should be utilizing when building out a notification strategy?

Conversely, are there things to look out for if we DON'T adopt something as a negative?

For context, the notifications might be general all audience, as well as, direct to user with custom content.

That link is a living document that we will update over time. It will always be the best place to get guidance on how you can best integrate your app with the UserNotifications framework.

If you can share some of your use cases we might be able to provide some guidance that's relevant now.
