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.

### {% linkable_title Enhancing basic notifications %}
#### Badge
You can set the icon badge in the payload:
```yaml
automation:
- alias: Notify iOS app
trigger:
...
action:
service: notify.ios_<your_device_id_here>
data:
message: "Something happened at home!"
data:
push:
badge: 5
```
#### Subtitle
iOS 10 supports a subtitle in addition to the title:
```yaml
automation
- alias: Notify iOS app
trigger:
...
action:
service: notify.ios_<your_device_id_here>
data:
message: "Something happened at home!"
data:
subtitle: "Subtitle goes here"
```
### {% linkable_title Sending notifications to multiple phones %}
To send notifications to multiple phones, create a [notification group](https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.group/):
```yaml
notify:
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: group
services:
- service: ios_iphone_one
- service: ios_iphone_two
```
Now, you can send notifications to everyone in the group using:
```yaml
automation:
- alias: Notify iOS app
trigger:
...
action:
service: notify.NOTIFIER_NAME
data:
message: "Something happened at home!"
data:
push:
badge: 5
```
