Does anyone know if there is a way to delay the popup alert that asks users to allow or disallow Notifications? I have a tutorial and would like to make it popup during that.

Delay the alert??

You can use wait block and enter the seconds and then use the alert block.

Still no solution that I know of…

On iOS after a user downloads a Thunkable app, as soon as they open it they get an alert asking if they consent to notifications.

This is pretty bad UX - most users are very likely to press ‘No’. It would be much better if you could delay this and ask the user after you have given them some value.
