~Or wrong notification is fetched - https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/pull/21090#issuecomment-2345841505~

To summarize, if the account previously used the fallback flow, then on the next recovery—whether through normal syncing or fallback—it might fetch an old pairing message. This could trigger a pair-and-sync notification which was intended for the main device from which we recovered the account

Hi @jrainville , are you working on this? If not yet, I can help.

[Parveshdhull]

@qfrank, please avoid working on the issue for now

@Horupa-Olena, please update this issue once https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/pull/21298 has been tested. I believe we have mixed two issues here:

• [ ] "More details" notification not shown for the recovering device
  • [ ] "Pair and Sync" notification is shown instead.

I think these are two distinct issues. The first one might have been fixed in https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/pull/21298#issuecomment-2371599349.

So, if only the second issue remains after https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/pull/21298 is tested, then we can update issue accordingly and proceed.

I'm sure there exist issue on creating notification logic on status-go side, if @jrainville is not working on it, I can help

@qfrank @Parveshdhull Hi. I'm not finished with #21298 but can say that this issue still reproduce. Also I noticed that old notifications about sync fetched in usual restore for old account (old = account that have few tries to syncs before) flow where we use seed phrase.
