Notifications are called 'Desktop notifications' even on mobile

[nclm]

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Open Mastodon web on a device that cannot be called 'desktop'
2. Go to 'Notifications' or any related location

Expected behaviour

It should not say 'Desktop notifications'

Actual behaviour

It says 'Desktop notifications'

Detailed description

I think we need a different name. It could be 'system notifications' or 'device notifications' for instance. There's also 'push notifications' but that sounds technical, as does 'native notifications' I believe.

Checked the issue, Just says Notifications on mobile devices. Checked on 3 devices: Samsung A12 and 2 others.

• Maybe your device is not necessarily a phone.
• It could be an android device but with a bigger orientation and isn't a mobile device
• Can you share your device full specifications and details rather than: Some Android

The device is a Asus ZenFone 8 running Android 13

I don't think there's anything browser specific here, it's just a translation string that says "desktop notifications". Might help to post screenshots to make sure we're talking about same thing.

That said, I think "Web push notifications" or "Browser notifications" (as opposed to native/OS/app push notifications) is probably the best technical term. Not sure what the best UI term for this is.
