Desktop Alert iOS application is a companion app that can be installed on users’ mobile devices and activated with a Desktop Alert server to receive mobile alerts (via push notification), and view recently received mobile alerts, and send alerts (if the user has the appropriate permissions to execute scenarios). In order to provide this functionality, the mobile app needs to communicate with its associated Desktop Alert server. There is also an option the user can turn on to track the device location in the background even when the app is not in use. This allows Desktop Alert server (ver 5.2.25.18 or higher) to send emergency notifications to a user based on their location. When turned on the app uses battery even in the background.
