Swift ios check if remote push notifications are enabled in ios9 and ios10

Question

How can I check if the user has enabled remote notifications on ios 9 or ios 10?

If the user has not allowed or clicked No I want to toggle a message asking if they want to enable notifications.

Apple recommends to use UserNotifications framework instead of shared instances. So, do not forget to import UserNotifications framework. As this framework is new in iOS 10 it's really only safe to use this code in apps building for iOS10+

let current = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()  current.getNotificationSettings(completionHandler: { (settings) in     if settings.authorizationStatus == .notDetermined {         // Notification permission has not been asked yet, go for it!     } else if settings.authorizationStatus == .denied {         // Notification permission was previously denied, go to settings & privacy to re-enable     } else if settings.authorizationStatus == .authorized {         // Notification permission was already granted     } })
