Gradually? Why the fuck can't it just group notifications but alert once. Especially for messaging apps. 🤣
i get the hate, but as someone with ADHD, it's a helpful feature. but it should be opt in.
Is it going to regularly remind me to kill Son Goku?
I just wish I could just stop Snapchat from messing up my notification settings again and combining "typing" notifications with actual "message" notifications. Oh, you don't want to be notified 37 times when someone is typing 3 messages? Are you not their friend anymore?
The best part is that typing notifications for every other kind of chat are separate, but not group chats. Why.
I've never hear of a typing notification...and I gotta say, that sounds absolutely horrible.
Its probably only to get you in the app, maybe you start typing a message to someone else while you wait for the first, and that person start typing a message to someone and the chain eventually gets to the first person distracting them from finishing their message to you creating a terrible cycle of pointless notifications and you still have no idea why you opened the app.
It's pretty terrible, which is why I muted the typing notifications (when I was allowed to!)
It gets worse too! Sometimes I'll disable story notifications only for Snapchat to re-enable them a week later! The only reason I really use it is because I have a group chat with my friends, and I'll sometimes use it to catch up with other friends I have on there
didn't that feature already exist up to something like android 12 or something? i remember very viscerally that i was able to configure in the notification settings of each app how often (in minutes per notification) i wanted to receive them.
I remember it was on custom rom. Not sure about stock
If that was a setting I don't recall having come across it, and I generally like to dig through the settings menu. Maybe it was manufacturer specific?
