Do I need quiet hours and consent management for push notifications?

Usually, yes—if you send push notifications, you should have both quiet hours and consent management in place, though the exact legal requirement depends on your region and use case.

Quiet hours

You should support quiet hours if your notifications could arrive at inconvenient times, especially for:

• promotional messages
• non-urgent alerts
• recurring reminders

This helps reduce complaints and can be important for compliance with local telemarketing/marketing rules or app store expectations.

Consent management

You generally need consent management for push notifications when:

• the notifications are marketing/promotional
• you’re targeting users in regulated regions like the EU/UK
• you need to track whether a user opted in/out and when

For transactional/essential notifications, consent may not be required in the same way, but users still typically need a way to opt out of non-essential notifications and manage preferences.

Practical recommendation

Implement:

• opt-in / opt-out controls
• notification category preferences
• quiet hours / do-not-disturb
• audit trail of consent if you do marketing or operate in regulated jurisdictions

If you tell me your country/region and whether these are marketing or transactional notifications, I can give a more precise answer.
