Control of notifications with multiple devices

Control of notifications with multiple devices

GI9VANNI opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

Hello!
When you receive a message and you have 2 or more devices connected to the same Telegram account, the notification reaches everyone.
The point is that if you open the message on one of these devices, the notification disappears on other devices or at least the notification LED goes out. With Ubuntu Touch no.

For example, if I have an Android smartphone and one with Ubuntu Touch:

I receive a message, I open it with the Ubuntu Phone, and at that moment the notification LED of the Android smartphone goes out.
I receive a message, I open it with the Android smartphone, and the notification LED of the Ubuntu Phone stays on.

Can you do something on Ubuntu Touch to bring it as the first example?

Hi Giovanni,

not at the moment, as this requires telegram to send us "read" notifications, which obviously was not put into the current push API. But I will try to get their opinion...

They will put the code into the test system today or so, I will keep an eye on that. Basically it seams easy to implement ;)

Yes it should work, was implemented on Telegram side by sending an empty push message to remove the notification on UT.

Is it possible that there is still a notification even if one of the two device open the message?

I tested this again but I can only test with Desktop and UT. Any message I read on the Desktop is deleted form the device as it should be.

Later I will test with various devices, but I'm sure it works well.

Exactly i dont want disappears notification if i open the message on one of two devices.

Ok NOW I understand. Well thats a matter of preference I would say, but we cannot change the way Telegram works. So its either on or off for all users. And I think the majority wants that the messages disappear.

@Flohack74 Great job! I have tested three devices and it works well. I understand that someone can not like it, but that's how Telegram works on Desktop, Android and other systems and it's better to have a uniform experience. So I can confirm that this issue has been solved.
