# Notifications and Real-Time Updates

The platform likely implements real-time features:

* **Email/SMS/Push Notifications:** Users can get notified when key events happen (service sold, message received, milestone approval needed, etc.). The mobile app will have push notifications, and the web app could use email or web push to alert users.
* **Real-Time Updates:** Using web sockets or similar, the status of a gig updates live on both buyer and seller screens. If the seller marks a task as delivered, the buyer sees that update without refreshing
