Given how the Android app became absolute crap in performance, stability, and respect for system-wide accessibility settings after the switch from the native codebase to the React Native codebase, I am not holding my breath when it comes to what will allegedly be rolled out in the near future.
Is that what happened? Because it works absolute shite with Bluetooth keyboards too.
It’s gotten a lot better lately but it’s still not 100% there yet. Push notifications still aren’t reliable, I often find myself getting a notification 10+ minutes after I get a message (sometimes more). It also uses too much mobile data because it seems to be updating too many things on startup.

Oh that’s interesting, sometimes I don’t get notified at all
10 minutes sound pretty solid to me.
I often find that happens if it notifies a different device first. Discord tries to figure out where you are “active” and notify you only there, so if you do something on a PC with Discord installed, it won’t ping your phone until it assumes you’re not looking at the PC anymore.
Do you have discord open on your desktop PC?
10+ minutes sounds like about the amount of time it takes for discord to recognise you’re away (ie. auto-away status). If it thinks you’re there (ie. online status), then it shouldn’t be also pinging your phone. It’s the same as when you have discord on your phone and open and it doesn’t ping you with every message while you’re already looking at it.
I just had a look at Matrix and it seems that the settings let you choose between Off/On/Noisy. Apps like whatsapp default and keep you stuck on “Noisy”.
I hope this means that notifications on iOS will actually use the conversations API. As well as making it so that using one of these shortcuts on the app icon no longer takes you to a random message
I feel like the notifications section is just superfluous. Why not just display notifications in the chat and server tabs?
The only change I think is really good here is the separation of chat and servers. I’m really indifferent to everything else.
They created the “inbox” button on the desktop client because when you’re in a ton of servers, finding where the notification was a big pain point. The notifications tab covers the same thing for the app, and it’s very readily accessible now. I think before the update it still took about 3 taps to get to the “Inbox”, and only then if you knew where it was hiding.
