There is huge competition online in most areas of activity. For promotion, all kinds of ways to promote a resource are used; pop-up messages occupy an honorable place in the arsenal of SEO specialists. For the user, Push notifications in the Yandex browser can also be useful; they are worth watching, as the messages contain information about bonuses and promotions. If the site uses Push notifications in the Yandex browser incorrectly, they will cause significant discomfort for surfing, then it is better to remove the notifications.
What are Push Notifications
These are small pop-ups on the left or right side of the page. They appear on the user's screen if the Yandex web browser is active. Both users of the mobile and full versions of the Yandex browser often encounter such windows.
Pop-up alerts are especially effective for website promotion, as they will be noticed by 90% of all users. There are benefits from Push notifications for the visitor, but due to their incorrect use, sometimes the messages become boring.
Potential benefits:
- Providing information about important changes to the site. Often they transmit information about updates, transfer of a resource to another domain, etc.;
- Receiving information about promotions from site owners. With their help, they provide information about “hot” offers, promotions and similar benefits of a particular product or competition;
- Notification when new content is uploaded. Messages may indicate the addition of an expected movie, the publication of important news, an answer to a question on the forum or in the support service;
- Confirmation of action completion. Used by services where any errors are fraught with serious losses: exchange offices, electronic payment systems, online banks and other resources. This helps to double-check the entered data and make sure it is correct.
There is also a downside to Web Push - displaying unimportant and uninteresting messages, constant offers to buy goods, annoying advertising, etc. If a person does not follow resource news and avoids promotions, you can safely refuse notifications.
On iPhone smartphones
On iOS devices, you cannot configure pop-ups from individual sites to appear. But you can change some important parameters:
- Go to “Settings”, where select the “Notifications” section.
- In the Show Thumbnails subsection, choose when pop-up messages appear on the screen.
- In the Notification Style subsection, enable or disable permission. If enabled, choose where to display pop-ups from your browser.
- In the “Grouping” subsection, select the grouping method: by application, automatically, disable the option.
Note: To completely turn off notifications from the browser and other programs on your iPhone, go to Settings and select Do Not Disturb mode.
How to remove Push notifications in Yandex browser
In Yandex browser, you can easily block push messages from individual resources or completely prohibit the display of notifications.
You can block pop-ups through “Settings”:
- Go to the browser menu.
- Click on “Settings”.
- Go to the “Sites” section.
- In the “Requests to send notifications” subsection, select “Do not show requests to send.”
By default, there is an option in which, before displaying a message, the user is asked if he wants to receive notifications. If you ever need to receive Push Notifications on a specific site, you can use exceptions.
To disable or view a site notification, add it to the exceptions:
- While in the “Notifications” subsection, click on the “From other sites” link.
- In the “Allowed” category (if we want Push notifications to be shown), click on the “Add” button
- Enter the website address, for example, https://ria.ru and click on the “Add” button.
In this way, it is possible to remove or allow notifications only for a given domain; the exception will not apply to all its subdomains. To add all resource subdomains to the exclusion, use a mask. For the given example it will look like https://[*.]ria.ru .

Main problems with Push notifications in Yandex Browser
Website developers are familiar with situations when Push notifications suddenly stopped working in the Yandex browser. Due to the lack of messages to subscribers, site traffic decreases sharply. Alerts do not work for a number of reasons that the developer :

- Incorrect changes. Sometimes variables are added to the connection string; it is worth checking the result of processing the function;
- The service is paid, and the resource has run out of paid tariff. If your subscription has expired, you will have to renew it or replace a plugin from another service;
- Incorrectly written code. Errors in the alert construction code will not allow it to appear on the user's side.
It is better to inspect the code after studying the innovations on the service through which Push Notifications are connected.
