Channel and Category Name in Mobile Push Notifications

Answered
Grey Wolf

In a recent update, the push notifications began to only show the server icon. I am on a few servers without any icons, and can't figure out which notification goes to which server, as the notifications I used to get no longer display the server name, or text channels. In addition, I have servers with numerous channels and categories, and the removal of the information has made it hard for me to know which to go to, and which to dismiss. I still think getting the information about the server name, category, and specific text channel from the push notification is vital, and I am wondering who feels the same. Who else wants it back besides me?

    Just a heads up, I reached out to support and they say this is an intended feature.

    That's what my impression was. I emailed and was told I should make a post for people to comment on.

    I just don't understand the new system, like who complained that they saw which channel a post was from? I'm very sad about this new update, I'm in too many channels with notifications on, some NSFW & some social chats. Really frustrating.

    Amen to that. Hopefully we can generate alpt of activity here in this support area. Please if you agree upvote the original post, maybe we can get a discord employee to respond to us!

    I find this new feature really annoying, and it's very hard to see where my notifications are coming from exactly

    A hotfix was pushed today as Discord Android App ver 8.1.0, don't know why support is saying it was an intended feature because it isn't.

    How do we go about getting this update? I don't see it in the play store yet.

    Currently the fix is in Android alpha which you can sign up for at discord.gg/discord-testers
    Also if I could ask which support member told you that this was an intentional change

    We were affected by this frustrating bug two day ago as well and it really mess up the notifications on mobile!

    Everyone on our server relies heavily on seeing which channel the notification comes from! The seemingly random numbers adds nothing to the Discord experience rather takes away from it.

    The update today fixed parts of the problem, but still is not solved. Please, do fix this!
