Do note that we attempt to prevent you from seeing two notifications. If you're actively using Signal Desktop, and you've read a recent message, that notification will not pop up on your Android device.

It would help if you got a little more specific about your use case. How exactly are you using Signal? How many conversations at a time? How many messages at a time? How many do you read immediately, how many do you leave unread for a bit?

Sorry for not noticing the reply for so long,

To answer your questions:
How exactly are you using Signal? How many conversations at a time?
my use case was quite straight forward, there was only one person i was chatting with, I had the desktop version in use. the IOS device i use was off.

How many messages at a time?
usually one at a time

How many do you read immediately, how many do you leave unread for a bit?
it varies, depends if I am with my device or not.

I was hoping, while i am logged in with the desktop app, the push notification to the phone will not be sent at all. so I only receive pings on desktop. when i logged out from the desktop app, the push notification to the phone will resume automatically.

Thanks a lot
