iPhones save old notifications in a database? Why?
So it can relay notifications across devices like your Apple watch, macbook, iPad and iToilet
Brings new meaning to piece of shit device.
Android does this too (ETA: by default). There's a history. You can set Signal to not display message content in notifications.
Thannnnk you! My Signal notifications now vaguely say I have a new message and nothing more. Good catch
Is it like easy to get to? Could actually be useful for some stuff. Yes it's right under notifications, turns out mines been off though.
