REPRODUCIBILITY: ALWAYS
OS VERSION: 4.5.0.18
HARDWARE: XPERIA 10 DUAL SIM
UI LANGUAGE: ITALIAN
DESCRIPTION:
I set up Twitter as an account, but tweets are always in events view. I’d expect that when I clear all notifications they’ll go away as the other, but they’re always there.
PRECONDITIONS:
Setting your Twitter account in the device
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Set up Twitter as an account in system application
Look into events
Tap on erase all notifications
EXPECTED RESULT:
The notifications should be cleaned until new ones comes
ACTUAL RESULT:
→ Other notifications entries such Whatsapp, Email does disappear. Twitter’s doesn’t
Twitter notifications (“John Smith liked your tweet”)
A mini-feed of the 5-10 most recent tweets
What you’re seeing in the screenshot is the mini-feed, which you can’t remove because it isn’t a notification. You wouldn’t go to twitter.com and expect all tweets to disappear once you’d read them, either (although perhaps that wouldn’t be such a bad thing). Back in the day, Facebook posts also showed up in this mini-feed, but Facebook blocked third parties from accessing posts a long time ago. Perhaps one day we’ll be able to add Fediverse accounts and have their posts show up in the mini-feed…
You could turn this into a feature request. In the settings for a Twitter account, there’s a switch for ‘tweets and notifications’, and turning it off removes the ‘mini-feed’, but it also stops Twitter notifications from coming in. It could be useful to enable one but disable the other, and it sounds like it would probably not be extremely difficult to uncouple the two.
Actually it’s my first bug report so didn’t know what to put in regression
Anyway nthn’s post, that’s maybe the solution. Let the user the possibility to receive notifications and seeing the feed of tweets in events view.
