Android 16 DP1 adds a feature called notification cooldown that gradually lowers the volume of successive notifications from the same app.

    I’ve never hear of a typing notification…and I gotta say, that sounds absolutely horrible.

    Its probably only to get you in the app, maybe you start typing a message to someone else while you wait for the first, and that person start typing a message to someone and the chain eventually gets to the first person distracting them from finishing their message to you creating a terrible cycle of pointless notifications and you still have no idea why you opened the app.

      It’s pretty terrible, which is why I muted the typing notifications (when I was allowed to!)

      It gets worse too! Sometimes I’ll disable story notifications only for Snapchat to re-enable them a week later! The only reason I really use it is because I have a group chat with my friends, and I’ll sometimes use it to catch up with other friends I have on there
