On Android, when I use WhatsApp and have notifications for groups turned off, I can still see that they arrive briefly and then get removed (the icon top left vanishes). I wonder often, if this is a way to push all group message content into an unencrypted data trace as well - for the same use case.
- arkon_hn 6mo agoIf the notification has the data, then yes. It's trivial to create an app that listens to notifications; Samsung even has one themselves called NotiStar that replicates the notification history feature that Android normally has.
- pipe01 6mo agoI've never seen this happen, maybe you're seeing the "Fetching messages" notification that sometimes pops up for a second?
- chinathrow 6mo agoNo, it's exactly when new messages for muted groups arrive. Confirmed via WhatsApp Web.
