Home Front Command offers new version of iPhone app, fixing delayed alert issues

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

The IDF’s Home Front Command is deploying a new version of its rocket alarm app for iPhone users, after several complaints of delays with its push notifications.

It says the new version comes to address an issue that caused a handful of confirmed cases of delays, out of some 12,000 alerts sent out since the beginning of the war.

iPhone users will need to update their app, as the current version will no longer send notifications.

The app can be found here.

Android users did not experience the same delays, and that app will remain operational.
