Push Opt-In Rate

The percentage of app users who grant permission to receive push notifications.

By Brandon MinaCEO, BrandPilot AIUpdated November 2026

Short answer

Push opt-in rate is the percentage of app users who grant permission to receive push notifications. It tends to differ between iOS, which requires explicit permission, and Android, where newer versions also ask. A higher opt-in rate widens the audience reachable through push, so teams often use a soft pre-prompt explaining the value first.
