Self-sent messages do not appear as unread #5821

Related #3877 |
I don't see how this would work? When you send a message to yourself you are already in the conversation when you "receive" it and thus see it immediately. Same happens when you are in a conversation with someone else and they send you a message – it gets read right away. |
We would need #685 implemented. |
@2-4601 To understand how this might work, it helps to think of cases in which you would send yourself a message, and why you would want a notification:
In any case, when you write a message to yourself, you are not usually waiting for a response, but sending yourself a reminder or putting something in a place to more easily find it again. In email programs like gmail, when you send yourself a message, you still get a notification even if the thread is open and you are seeing it at the time. |
@FeuRenard : a solution to #685 would be great - but I can think of a simpler solution for this special case:
This would make things easier in the case of a conversation between two people on two devices associated with a single signal account. Having to mark the conversation as unread each time a message is sent would be quite cumbersome. The alternative suggested here - which would require opening the thread each time you want to write in it - would be no more difficult to deal with than when two other signal users are messaging you simultaneously and you are jumping from one response to the next.. |

I have:
Bug description
when sending a message to one's own account, it does not appear as unread in one's inbox
Steps to reproduce
Actual result:
When you return to your inbox, you see that you have already read the message you intended to send yourself.
Expected result:
You should be able to send yourself a message as a reminder, as one can do in email platforms, etc, and by showing the message as read, this is not possible.
