Bug description

After every update there is a Android notification which says "Say hello to secure video calls" (exact text might differ, I translated the German text to English). I understand that this is a new feature which you want to promote, but this way it gets annoying. Seeing it once should be enough.

Steps to reproduce

• install a version with that new feature and notification
• swipe that notification away
• wait for a new version and install it

Actual result:
notification reappears

Expected result:
no new notification

Device info

Device: Nexus 5x
Android version: 7.1.2
Signal version: latest available on Play Store

May be you are reinstalling app so get that notification but in every update i am not getting any notifications

[slintes]

no, updates

Post a debug log immediately after next update.

I guess the key element here is step 2, "swipe that notification away" (instead of tapping on it).

[slintes]

yes, I think I didn't open Signal at all between updates (unfortunately nobody of my friends uses it actively :/ )

I don't think we considered the case where Signal isn't opened between updates

At least in this case very few people like me are affected ;) Probably not worth doing something about this then. I will just tap on the notification next time. Thanks for your answers. Feel free to close this if also think it's not worth any action :)
