Signal-android: Reply to notification when no Text is shown

Created on 15 Aug 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: signalapp/Signal-Android


Bug description

Notifications allow to directly reply to a message, even when no text content is shown.

Steps to reproduce

  • Settings -> Notifications -> Show: Name only
  • Someone sends you a message

Actual result: I get a notification with the option to mark it as read and directly reply to it.
Expected result: Only see a Notification; without the option to reply (since it does not make much sense to reply to something you were not able to read)

Screenshots

Android is in German, left is '(Mark as?) read', right one is 'reply'

Device info

Device: OnePlus 5T
Android version: 10
Signal version: 4.69.0

Hi. This currently seems to be the expected behaviour so it's not a bug. Personality this also seems strange to me so created a feature request for it. See https://community.signalusers.org/t/disable-mark-as-read-option-in-notification-if-message-is-hidden/11395

I agree. The generated "smart replies" (Android 10) should probably also be disabled in these kind of cases. Seeing an "Okay" button (as in my case), but no name and no message is just annoying. @alan-signal agrees in https://community.signalusers.org/t/annoying-okay-button-in-notification/16618/7
