The Postal Service plans to introduce a standalone USPS Informed Delivery app later this year.
USPS Informed Delivery is a free feature that allows customers to preview their incoming letter-size mail and manage their package deliveries. Customers can access USPS Informed Delivery notifications from their email, on usps.com and through the USPS Mobile app.
The USPS Informed Delivery app will be available for Apple and Android devices and offer secure sign-in.
The app’s home screen will include a summary of the customer’s expected mail and packages.
The app will send notifications when the USPS Informed Delivery daily digest email is available and when there is an update on a package’s arrival.
Customers will be able to use the app to scan tracking numbers or label barcodes to find out the status of inbound or outbound packages.
The app is now being tested and is expected to launch nationwide in the fourth quarter of the calendar year.
