    Who the fuck either has sound turned on that often, or has notifications that old?

    I didn’t even know notifications could make noise past their initial display.

      The example given in the article is for a device you don’t turn on that often

      I think the only time I’ve experienced this is when I had my phone off for weeks and still used Gmail. It spammed me on boot with tons of old email notifications.

        Is there a mail client you prefer, by the way? I’ve been pretty happy with Spark for a while now, but I don’t care about their AI features and I’d really like Gmail tag support.

          I use FairEmail these days. It might have tag support, if it does though it’s not enabled by default. It has no AI features.

        Messenger is the worst for this especially since I only have my work phone on half the time so I tend to get a lot of old notifications for messages I’ve already read when I turn it on.

      When I’m traveling and my tablet reconnects to wifi, I get a surge of vibrations. So the combo of notification sync and this feature sounds like it will finally solve that problem!
