It's been a while since our last update, but a lot has happened since then!
First off, you'll most likely notice our new website and dashboard redesign. We're continuing to make updates to our dashboard to make things easier to use and to help you manage your apps more efficiently. Our developer sign ups continue to grow, with an astonishing 1500 new developers signed up since our last update! And now, onto the new features...
Emoji Support
OneSignal has always supported Emoji messages, but until now they've been cumbersome to add to messages.๐๐๐ Not anymore! ๐๐๐
With our new Emoji composer, you can easily add emoji to your notification contents or titles. Simply click the smiley-face on our notification composer and select the emoji you wish to add to your notification. It doesn't get any easier! ๐
