Notification Overload
We want the right number of notifications, but not too many.
If you are a peer/watcher should get notified when:
- Location is initially shared (typical system notification)
- The main user checks in (note: we do not have this capability yet)
- An alert is sent (critical alert)
If you are the main user:
- It's time to check in
We need to consider silencing notifications after an alert is sent. Threat model is device confiscations. If a phone or person is taken, we don't want to draw attention to the app. If we do silence them, we need to show this very clearly in the UI.
Note: When testing notifications get really overwhelming when people are using the legacy chat thread.
