Other than iphone, here is some working solution to get gmail push notification on platforms other than iphone, such as windows, mac, and android. maybe you will be interested to take a look: 1. chrome & firefox & safari under windos & mac 2.. Get true push gmail on your iphone or ios device july 5, 2014 / technology a few years ago, google announced it was ending support for the exchange activesync protocol (eas) for most users.. The alternative option was to download gmail or inbox by google in lieu of using ios’ native mail app. with ios 11, it appears that the push notification delay issues may have been resolved..
I can enable push on my ipad 4th generation after er-adding the mail account. but with my iphone 5s and my ipad mini it is not possible. there is no push option available in the settings menu.. Possibly, gmail doesn't get push mail option either. if you need those push mail options, you should search for mail apps in the app store. i use the email app, it suits my needs perfectly.. Iphone supports true push email. it does not support the imap idle protocol, which is not "true push", and is mostly regarded as garbage. imap push is not a widely used protocol since most providers use their own implementation of it (apple uses it for their icloud mail)..
