After registering my number on a new device I get a notification in my conversation with Alice:
"You marked your Safety Number with Alice as not verified from another device"
Knowing that my safety number has changed because I reregistered Signal, it makes sense I get this notification. However, it only makes sense because I know not to read it to literal. Not every user would know that.
The notification tells me "I marked Alice as unverified". In fact that just happened automatically because the safety number has changed.
The issue I am raising here is that the notifications in the Desktop app do not accurately reflect the actual event. They roughly indicate what happened, but the causality is inaccurate. This can lead to confusion among users who don't know Signal through and through. It would be great if we could go over all the possible events within the iOS and Android app and make sure we use the same notifications within the Desktop app.
I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates

On re-register, don't show 'you marked Alice not verified' because it's confusing
