It was found that 58 percent of the respondents would feel encouraged to use mobile notifications if they were able to control the number and duplication of alerts that they receive. On the other hand, 17 percent of the respondents said nothing would make them install the feature for news alerts.
Smartphones are the most used devices to access online news among surveyed Indian respondents. For the media companies interested in catering to their audiences in a dynamic way, mobile notifications are an important feature. In order to understand the audience perspective on the usefulness of push notifications on their smartphones, the survey respondents in the study from early 2019 were asked what reasons would encourage them to use this feature.
