Anyway to make the message notification time be the time of the recent message?

Currently, if you receive a message at 6:30 AM and then another message at 12:30 PM from the same person, in the notification it will say that the message was still received at 6:30 AM.

This makes it very confusing, for me atleast. I just want the time shown in the notification to be updated with the time of the most recent one received.

I do notice that with notifications, if multiple responses or notifications are received from a single app, the messages stack in a single bubble,

however, in the upper right of a stacked bubble there is a small downward arrow under the number of notifications indicator. Tapping the arrow will separate the messages and the time stamps of the individual notifications are correct.  When they are stacked, It looks like the bubble shows only the time stamp of the newest notification.  Also, in your messaging app, the individual messages will have the correct time stamp.

Thank you for the clarification, that is very helpful information. I don't think the same thing happens for google meet and discord though. I see what you're talking about in the screenshot, that behavior is reflected on apps like reddit and Gmail, but for messaging apps like discord, instagram, and Google message it behaves the way I said. Very weird 😕

It may be the way the programmers of those apps set up their notification protocols.  The Members notifications are the ones I notice because they usually come in multiples.  I admit, though, that I don't really pay attention to the time stamps.  I think my FB messenger responses come in grouped too, but I can't remember.  I've been training people to text me.

yeah, I think you're right 😕 Do you use Google messages? Do you experience the same thing, or is it just a me thing?

I do use Google Messages, but to be honest, I don't pay attention to things like that. I don't usually get clusters of notifications from the app, as I tend to read them as they arrive and dismiss them.  I realize that may not be possible for everyone, but I am not often without my phone and my watch gives me notifications.  The only time notifications cluster is overnight, and people who message me usually are sleeping during the same hours so not likely to message me.

Go to phone settings > notifications > sort notifications and change to "by time"

See if that resolves for you ❤

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately I already have that setting applied
