I'm referring to what sounds like a feature of the app, not the OS... The app... already chooses what to send through the OS notification API so I really don't have any idea what scenario you're worried about.

I generally sympathize, I also don't like when apps block screenshots (or even more stupidly, they can block Android's amazing "select text from anywhere" feature...). But I don't think there are similar concerns for Signal allowing me to hide notification content from the OS.

Right. I'm saying most apps shouldn't be allowed to send a notification at all if they're not going to put the proper content in it. As it is, many apps already choose to omit notification body, instead supplying nothing or some noninformative text, forcing you to tap through to the app to see what the notification was about. If Signal is doing anything unusual here, is that it has a switch to enable showing actual content.

I get it. I am stubborn. That behavior results in a polite but direct email/review followed by an uninstall. I'm so tired of being treated like disposable crap by everyone trying to make a buck the cheapest and shittiedt way possible.
