[DUG] Parse.com IPhone 3

Good morning Willie,

Thanks for the answer.

You can register your phone application against a push notification server
so that it can receive notifications from that server, these appear on your
phone in much the same way as email, What’s-App or Update notifications do.

Does that mean the ios app constantly pull from the server to check any new
notification just like normal outlook check email server logic?

TIA
Leigh
