Invalid “Technical problem” notifications being sent #75

Open BasThomas opened 2 years ago

Describe the bug, issue or concern

I currently am not residing in the Netherlands, and have therefore changed my active region for exposure notifications — making it expected that Coronamelder would currently be inactive.

Yet every evening, I get two notifications:

It doesn't seem like I can change anything in the app settings to turn it off — at least not for longer than 12 hours; I would expect it to be... well, expected behavior that it isn't active.

I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done about this — not sure if it can be checked if another region is active, for example?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. (Optional?) Activate exposure notifications for an app / country that is not Coronamelder / the Netherlands
  2. Go to the Netherlands, and install + activate the exposure notifications in Coronamelder
  3. Activate the other app again, therefore (implicitly) deactivating Coronamelder
  4. Observe the notifications being sent.

Expected behavior

As another active region is checking for exposure notifications, perhaps send a notification once, but not daily? And don't assume it's a technical problem.
