+MySQL compatibility
+-------------------
+MySQL has a limit for indices and therefore the `registration_id` field cannot be made unique in MySQL.
+We detect the database backend and remove the unique constraint for MySQL in the migration files. However,
+to ensure that the constraint is removed from the actual model you have to add the following to your settings
+to be able to run your django tests with MySQL and without running all migrations:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    FCM_DJANGO_SETTINGS = {
+        "MYSQL_COMPATIBILITY": True,
+        # [...] your other settings
+    }
+
+As an alternative, you can use a custom model (see above) and either remove the unique constraint manually
+or use a length limited CharField for the `registration_id` field. There are no guarantees on the max length of
+FCM tokens, but in practice they are less than 200 characters long. Therefore, a CharField with a length of 600
+should be sufficient and you can make it unique and index it even with MySQL:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from fcm_django.models import AbstractFCMDevice, FCMDevice as OriginalFCMDevice
+
+
+    class CustomFCMDevice(AbstractFCMDevice):
+        registration_id = models.CharField(
+            verbose_name="Registration token",
+            unique=True,
+            max_length=600,  # https://stackoverflow.com/a/64902685 better to be safe than sorry
+        )
+
+        class Meta(OriginalFCMDevice.Meta):
+            pass
