SMS / MMS issues

[mat4444]

Hello,
Sorry for bothering you again with issues reporting, but I have noticed a few problems with the SMS/MMS with the Desktop App:

• I got duplicated SMS notifications if my phone is on a different network, using the desktop app. (no problem if on the same network / or if I use the Chrome extension)
  

• Deleted SMS still show in Join (Chrome extension or desktop app). I don't see any easy way to refresh it except deleting the files in Google Drive

• Images from MMS do not appear in the desktop/web app. (Showing undefined instead)
  

• Unlike the Chrome extension, the SMS tab do no refresh automatically when I receive a new SMS in an open conversation.

• It would be cool if the emoji button was added like in the chrome extension!

Last question, related to messaging app but not directly SMS/MMS : A while ago with the Chrome extension, I was able to see the Whatsapp images in the Join notification. Now, only the camera emoji appears in the notification when I receive an image. Has there been a change with Whatsapp notification, or is it a change on Join side ?

Thanks for looking at all this :)

Hi Mat, sorry about not being able to address these yet! I'll try to do so next month! Sorry for the holdup!

I can address some right away though:

• Duplicate notifications: do you maybe have the Join website open when that happens?
• Deleted SMS: For now to delete SMS messages from Join you have to go into the Android app -> Settings -> SMS and Phone Calls -> Disable and re-enable the SMS service. That should get rid of deleted messages. I plan to eventually make this process automatic in the future.

I hope I can get around to the other ones soon!

Hi João,
I made additional tests regarding the duplicate notifications: you were right, the duplicated messages appear when Join website is open, but only if Join web is not the active tab in the browser. In the console of Join Desktop, I see 2 received gcm messages when that happen. It's not a very standard use case, but I assume it would be possible to filter out the duplicated message if the content, sender and date are identical.
I hope you'll be able to address the other issues in a future release. Let me know if I can help you testing it!
