Gee, maybe Signal shouldn’t keep harassing people to turn on notifications and take no for an answer?
Thoughts, @Mer__edith?
@Mer__edith Oh, and would you look at that, right on cue…
The opposite of “yes” is “no”, not “not now” or “ask me later”.

Lucas Cantor@aral @Mer__edith I opened a GitHub issue about this several months ago: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/6175
I appreciate the response I received, explaining how one of the top issues users report is "issues with notifications", and in many of those reports it turns out the user had disabled notification permissions either accidentally or a long time ago and forgot.
...but it would be nice to have an in-app setting to disable this check if desired!
