Live notifications after do not disturb

AI-generated summary

The discussion addresses a bug where enabling Do Not Disturb (DND) mode inadvertently disables live notifications on mobile devices. Moin initially asked if live notifications should resume after DND ends. maiki questioned the term ā€œlive notificationsā€ but prompted Moin to share specific concerns.

Moin detailed a reproducible issue on Android where live notifications appear disabled after toggling DND. The bug occurs when notifications are enabled in mobile view, the page is reloaded, and DND is activated; the setting remains disabled even after deactivating DND. This behavior was inconsistent: it did not occur when notifications were enabled in desktop mode, nor when DND was activated in desktop mode while using mobile view. Moin suspected the UI state discrepancy indicated a deeper issue with notification functionality.

Moin sought a workaround to avoid manually re-enabling notifications daily. Finally, Moin reported that the issue was resolved by a fix implemented in pull request #43243, which corrected the behavior of live notifications in relation to DND mode.

Does that mean live notifications (should) work again after the do not disturb time is over?

What are ā€œlive notificationsā€ in this context? Android PWA?

ā€œDo Not Disturbā€ mode should toggle notifications in all contexts, me thinks.

@Moin this seems like something you can test, so is there a concern you haven’t shared with us? :slight_smile:

Yes. Somehow they always got disabled on my phone (Android, not PWA) after DND was enabled. Because I did not try on another device, I thought maybe I understood DND wrong or missed a setting. But after trying on my computer, I now know they should not be disabled by DND. But I could also replicate the problem with my computer using mobile view.
Here are the steps to reproduce

  • Switch to mobile view by adding ?mobile_view=1 (not in the screen cast, but you can see mobile view is used)
  • Enable live notifications and save,
  • reload the page,
  • activate the do not disturb mode,
  • reload the page again.
  • Now Live notifications are shown as disabled (That is different using desktop-mode)
  • Then I deactivate the disturb mode, reload the page and view the preferences.
  • Now live notifications are still disabled.


Record on windows using mobile view.
As soon as I enable the notifications using desktop mode, they are not disabled by the do not disturb mode, although I then used mobile-view again. But notifications get disabled when I activate them in mobile view and enter DND in desktop-view.
So something must be different, when you activate notifications using mobile view. I also noticed the notification looks different

I was too lazy to try whether notifications work or not. I just had a look at the setting. But I first noticed notifications did not work before noticing they got disabled, so I think this is related

Does anyone have an idea how I can use DND and push notifications on mobile without enabling them every day?

Thank you fix fixing this
