The iOS notify platform accepts the standard title, message and target parameters. The iOS notify platform supports targets as services. Assuming that you did not set a name when configuring the platform you should find all your registered and notification-enabled iOS devices available as notify targets as services with names prefixed "notify.ios_" and then the device name you entered at setup.

Notes:

• title only displays on Apple Watch and iOS 10 devices.

• target can be used to specific a single device using its PushID, found in ios.conf. The preferred way of providing a target is through a target specific notify service.

A push notification showing all of the basic options `title` and `message` as well as `subtitle` and [actions](/ecosystem/ios/notifications/actions/).
