Method
AO.news runs a fleet of phones with hundreds of news apps installed and every notification switched on; each push is recorded the moment it lands. This page counts the 1,954 notifications franceinfo sent from 1 Aug 2025 to 31 Jul 2026, stamped in Europe/Paris local time. Front-page headline robots are excluded, and the window always ends at the last complete month, so these figures update monthly rather than live. Two honest caveats: an app added to our phones mid-window shows artificially quiet early months, and a push sent only to a personalised or regional segment may not reach our devices. This page shows aggregates only, never the notifications themselves; the live stream is in the deck.
