>If I remember correctly, it would be better to change things so the perspective for the messages is known before they are created and then it can be passed to the message constructor instead of dynamically changing the adapter. Since this code is shared with forums, it might not be a trivial change though.

If multiple contacts have been introduced, each contact should be removed from the notification when opening the contact's private conversation, and touching a notification for multiple new contacts should open the contact list. (This is consistent with the behaviour of the private message notification.)https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1027Titles for blog posts2020-11-19T13:49:41ZakwizgranTitles for blog postsA tester asked for the ability to add a title to a blog post.A tester asked for the ability to add a title to a blog post.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1067Don't show two notifications when a member joins a group2020-11-19T13:34:07ZakwizgranDon't show two notifications when a member joins a groupUser feedback: "A user that joins a group will cause two notifications on the group owner's device: One in the private chat and one in the group chat.

In groups, that is not the case. When the typing bar expands, it covers the most recent messages and you have to scroll down to see them.
