DESCRIPTION:
Android instant messenger (IM) apps seem to generate too much notifications for chats. Let’s say you already have notifications in the event screen for new messages in the group chats named A, B and C in the Element IM app. You receive a new message in group chat A. Now Sailfish OS will display a banner for group chat A, B and C.
The current behaviour is a slight annoyance because you know that someone has messaged you, but you’ll either have to wait until the relevant chat notification shows up or you’ll have to swipe the non-relevant chat notifications away.
I’ve seen this with happening at least the following IM apps: Element, Telegram, Whatsapp.
PRECONDITIONS:
Have notifications for several chats in a single IM app on the events screen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Have someone send you a message in the same IM app as told above, so you get a new notification.
EXPECTED RESULT:
Only a notification banner for the person who messaged you appears on top of the screen. This is what would happen in Android.
ACTUAL RESULT:
A notification banner for each chat with a notification in the events screen for said IM app appears and a new one.
