# Send push notifications to iOS

### Learn how to send push notifications to an iOS endpoint

You can push a notification to the Cortex XDR agent on the iOS device from Cortex XDR.

1. Navigate to **Inventory**+**Endpoints** → **All Endpoints** and locate the required iOS device or devices.
2. Right-click and select **Endpoint Control** → **Send Push Notification**.
3. Select one of the following notifications to send to the agent:

| **Notification**           | **Action**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Device Checkup**         | When the App user taps the received notification, the Cortex XDR app will open on the device, ready to perform the checkup.Tap **Perform Check Up** to initiate a device checkup.                                                                                                     |
| **Verify App Permissions** | If the Phone permissions are not set correctly for full protection, the user is instructed to allow permission.The App user must tap **Open Permissions Wizard** from the iOS device Home screen and follow the wizard to enable and allow the required settings for full protection. |
| **Custom message**         | Admin can send a message with a header and body text to designated Cortex XDR App users. The App user will receive this textual message.                                                                                                                                              |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/protect-your-endpoints/install-and-manage-endpoints/manage-endpoint-protection/send-push-notifications-to-ios.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
