Incoming Visitor Notifications in Zendesk Chat

Learn why it's best to keep incoming visitor notifications disabled in Zendesk Chat to save battery life.

Should I enable incoming visitor notifications in the Zendesk Chat app?

It's generally recommended to keep incoming visitor notifications disabled to maximize battery life.

When enabled, you'll receive a notification for every visitor to your site with the Zendesk Chat widget, regardless of whether they start a chat. This can be particularly draining on your battery if you have a high traffic site. By default, this setting is disabled, which helps conserve battery life.
