What’s the difference between a “Push” notification and an “In-App” message Action?

Push Notifications are notifications that display while that app is not actively in use. They are handled by a device’s browser and typically appear on the lock screen. In essence, a push notification is an alert that is sent to everyone who has opted in to the receipt of these messages. When a user taps a Push message, it launches the app, a specific action in the app, or a third-party URL.. Notifications may be segmented into cartgories, and users can select the categories they want to monitor.. . Alternately, “In-app” messages appear in an App when the user views the App. They drop down from the top of the display (after a selected delay) and will stay until dismissed or selected. When selected, an In-app message will perform an action within the app. For example, an In-app message prompting an App install might link to a microsite with directions on how to do so. Similarly, it can connect to a URL (i.e., Link Action), a Subpage, initiate a Call, etc.. In-app messages work on both iOS and Android. They appear on the page where the Action is used, which can be the App's main page or on a subpage.. .
