"You have a new message" notifications in Notification Center
Admin Dog, Nov 12, 2020 at 17:13, edited
Last reproduced in 7.7.0.20729
ClosedIssueiOS

Workaround

Restarting the device should fix the issue. Notifications will arrive with proper message previews after reboot.

'You have a new message' notifications arrive instead of regular notifications with message previews – even when previews are enabled and passcode lock is switched off. Nothing happens when you tap on that notification. This problem can occur right after updating or installing the app.


Device info

Any iOS device can be affected immediately after the Telegram app was installed or updated.

It was an Apple side issue. It seems to have been solved in iOS 14.5 release.

We have this issue on Android too.

Can we just have a separate Privacy option, where we can both set Passcode Locks to Android and iOS apps, but the Notifications Preview would on for all (or we can even select some contacts that will only show) on either the Lock Screen or the Notification Center, after Passcode Lock timeout?

I love having privacy that someone can open the Telegram app, but not see any of my conversations. But I do value the ability to read any of my new messages in the Notification Center right away, even if the Timeout has already ran out (e.g. you slept from the night before, the maximum Pascode Timeout on Telegram is just 5 hours)

Because it is/was an Apple bug, in notification delivery.
