• Select Same content for both platforms to synchronise changes between iOS and Android templates.

• There is no character limit for push notifications. However, ensure the content is added appropriately and displays correctly. For more information on title guidelines for push notifications, refer to the material design documentation for Android and the Apple developer documentation for iOS.

• Make sure that all tags contain data. Inconsistency in the tags will result in a validation error.
