Silent message #836

Open Fohroer opened 8 years ago

Fohroer commented 8 years ago

I sometimes need to write message to contact who suddenly fall asleep. So he is sleeping but signals are on. I want to answer but without disturbing him. Please add an ability (optional, of course) to write message without initiating signal, only showing Android notification.

Although I'd prefer to implement something "do not disturb during sleep hours" mode (from the receiver's side), this feature might be nice to have - since no other app has it for a start :-)

Fohroer commented 8 years ago

No, that's not what I mean. Silent hours are available for Android notifications in many firmwares. Silent message is a fresh useful idea to answer without disturbing to a contact who suddenly fall asleep.

daniele-athome commented 8 years ago

I know, I was indeed talking about the opposite feature. Anyway, how do you detect if the receiver has suddenly fall asleep? Or you just decide that he/she just did and manually activate this silent message feature?

I just want to say that I think this feature is a horrible idea. The last thing I want is for my contact to decide when I get notifications.

Fohroer commented 8 years ago

@daniele-athome I know this contact personally. And sometimes this contact is too tired to press something and just falls asleep.

I absolutly agree with @TheLastProject

Ok, this is a somewhat questionable scenario :-)

Although I agree that this a completely unimportant feature, what hurt could it do?
