# Using mobile push notifications for Amazon Chime SDK messaging to receive messages
<a name="using-push-notifications"></a>

You can configure Amazon Chime SDK Messaging to send channel messages to mobile push notification channels. The Amazon Chime SDK requires an Amazon Pinpoint application configured for push notifications. Your Amazon Pinpoint application must meet these prerequisites: 
+ Your Amazon Pinpoint application must have at least an FCM or APNS channel configured and enabled.
+ Your Amazon Pinpoint application must reside in the same AWS account and region as your Amazon Chime SDK app instance.

**Note**  
By default, all the members of a push notification channel receive the push notifications, including message senders. However, you can set a filter rule that prevents messages from going to senders. For more information, see [Using filter rules to filter messages for Amazon Chime SDK messaging](filter-msgs.md), later in this section.
