## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to send a localized message to participants of a turn-based event or exchange request that needs their attention. If your game isn’t running on recipient devices, the notification containing the localized message appears immediately at the top of the screen. When the participant taps or clicks the notification, GameKit launches your game and invokes the GKTurnBasedEventListener player(_:receivedTurnEventFor:didBecomeActive:) protocol method. GameKit uses the recipient’s language and region to localize the message. If the recipient doesn’t have the game installed on their device, GameKit uses the sender’s localization settings instead. See Sending messages to players in turn-based games.
