After getting an inbox notification in the app, clicking on the notification de-highlights it in the app but does not acknowledge the notification on the site itself. Should it do so?

My phone alerts me that I have a new message in my Stack Overflow inbox. After I read the new message in the Android app it shows 0 unread messages. The next time I visit the main site on my notebook the new (December 2013) Top Bar says that I have one unread message: the message that I read on my phone. Even if I shut down my browser and wait a few minutes (to give the Android app time to "sync", or whatever), the new message indicator in the new Top Bar doesn't go away until I click it.  I don't recall this happening with the older top bar, so perhaps the new Top Bar and the Android app need to get better acquainted.

In my device (iPhone 6, iOS v8.0.2, app v1.2.0.138) whenever I receive a notification and I tap it in order to open the application, the screen that is displayed is blank.  I need to quit the app, re-open it, go to my 'inbox' and tap the last notification in order to see the question screen, focused on the comment.  This is not new (for me) in v1.2.0.138; it has been happening for at least the last ~7 updates that I've done.

Version of the app: 1.0.51. (It is up to date at the time of writing according to Google Play.)  This started happening after the network problem that happened earlier this morning. Both my tablet and my phone are popping up notifications for events (comments, and probably edits too) that happened prior to the network issue. I had received notifications for these events already and had already cleared them before the network issue happened.  The repeated notifications do not show up in the bar displayed at the top of the Stack Exchange sites. In other words, I get notified again in Android but do not get notified again on the SE web sites.

At the moment, I have the latest notification in the global inbox, content of which does not correspond either to the comment itself or the copy of it on "recent responses" page. This seems like the comment was edited and the updated version was not copied to the global inbox.    ETA: OK, now this looks more coherent.

I have notifications in the OSX Notification Center, as for most of my apps I am using the setting, "Show in Notification Centre: 10 Recent Items" This is a good setting but rather than have a very full Notification Center, I would still like to clear it from time to time with 1 click.  I am using Yosemite 10.10.3

We're considering adding favorite notifications to the global inbox, and are looking for feedback on the idea (as we're not completely sold on it).  But first, some history.  Favorites are kind of like bookmarks, in that they're kept in a handy centralized place.  They also follow you across browsers.  Ok, ok... "bookmarks, on the internet" is not the most compelling feature, but Favorites also opted you into notices for those questions as if you were the owner (edits and new answers, at least).  This was probably the most confusing part (though a  feature) of the old envelope behavior judging by erroneous bug reports, so a way to opt out of this .  Now, favorite updates go nowhere.  But we could* put them into the inbox.  Here's how we envision this feature working:   Every current user has their "notify me on favorite changes" preference cleared (new users start with it cleared). The first time someone favorites a question, they're prompted to opt-in to favorite notices. Whenever a question is commented on or answered (or, possibly, edited) a new notice is pushed into the inbox of users who have favorited it, and have opted in.   Opt-in would be per-site, and it would remain possible to opt-out from your profile page.   This is not a final design, but the basic idea is correct  As I mentioned above, we're not 100% sold on this idea.  We've had a policy to date that nothing goes into the inbox that isn't specifically targeted at a user; this would be tweaking that policy.  *We could also put changes into their tab on the user page, but that reduces their visibility.

Is there any facility to clear inbox message? If I want to delete some of the messages from inbox, then is it possible?

I was reading one of  and was surprised that what he described in a comment still hasn't been implemented.     well, don't thank me yet -- this functionality was pulled, and we   haven't quite figured out a way to change it yet. Current thinking is   for the star click to trigger a "do you want to be notified about this   question?" with some "always do this" options. –  Jeff Atwood♦ Jan 3   '12 at 9:03   This sounds like the best idea since toasted waffles, so why hasn't it been implemented yet?  I often find questions that intrest me greatly or I feel may greatly help me in the future. Often these questions might have a good answer at the time or the answer may change due for other reasons (ex. software updates).  I would like a way to recieve updates in my inbox for super-special questions that I designate (a sort of super-favorite). I find the "favorites" tab to be inconvenient and can easily become cluttered if you favorite a lot of questions.

I'm having an odd and inconsistent problem where certain inbox notifications are re-appearing within my inbox every few days, even though the date/time for the notification is a week, two weeks, a month, two months or even three months ago. Unfortunately my screenshot didn't take so I don't have a screenshot at this time. The messages I'm getting within the inbox that are repeating though are posts that have been migrated, moderator elections, and other non-answer related items.  Usually a page refresh or clicking on the inbox notification badge, opening the inbox dropdown, and clicking outside of the dropdown clears the messages out of the timeline. Yet every week or so they all re-appear again.    Update I finally was able to capture a screenshot. This was taken this morning at 8:06am. Even though I have an inbox notification of "7", you can see that the "newest" inbox notification dates from May 22nd and the other 6 "new" notifications are from as far back as Feb 2014.

I've been chatting from mobile today (with my Galaxy SIII), seems like when people ping me, it doesn't matter whether I send messages, or even specifically ping them back, the notification doesn't get cleared, and it eventually reaches my inbox with a flurry of 14 inbox notifications.    I've read other threads close to the subject, but it doesn't seem like anything addressed this specifically, so I'm opening this  report here.

I was Active in Arabic SE before it was closed days ago. Though I still see messages and achievements in my inbox that's related to it.  In deleted questions, all go hidden and that's good. Why not doing the same for Closed sites?    because this, the Android app is getting crash at every time I check inbox or achievements.

When a post is deleted and the notification comes through, it scrolls over the inline flag bar:    The entire post also seems to capture clicks instead of letting them get to the flag bar. Looks like someone got a z-index wrong...

I got a notification from Careers 2.0 today. Clicking on the notification opened the app, and was promptly followed by a crash.   Now, I know that Careers is probably not a priority for the app, (is it?) so, either notifications from careers should not be shown in the app inbox, or they should directly open up the browser.  Version: 0.1.26  UPDATE: It seems to have been resolved in 0.1.27 as the notification now opens up in a browser window.

When I receive a message on an SE post, I get a notification like this:    If I double tap this notification, the SE application opens, but my feed is empty approximately half the time. It looks like this:    If I refresh the feed (slide from the top), the feed does refresh and shows the new notification.   The notification, above, leads to  comment.  I haven't figured out the pattern yet, but this occurs roughly half the time I open a notification. It's occurred for chat messages, comments and answers - but not consistently. I have received notifications for the same post (for example, the two comments after the one linked above) that do not show an empty feed. But, a chat message barely 10 minutes later will show the empty feed again.  I am utilizing the beta app - version 1.0.72 on Android 5.0.1.

In the iOS Mail app, there are 4 emails in the "All Inboxes" section. Those 4 emails are NOT in the actual inbox on Gmail.  I thought, oh well I don't mind deleting them entirely since they're just newsletters. I deleted them directly on gmail, but they still appeared in iOS. So I tried deleting them via iOS and ... they keep coming back!  Even stranger, the 4 emails ONLY appear in "All Inboxes", they don't appear in any of the sub-account inboxes.  So, I disabled "Mail" in my gmail account. They're still here! I no longer have a "gmail" sub-account, but those 4 emails are still in All Inboxes. I tried to quit the app a few times, restart the phone. Still here...  When I tap on one of those messages, I get a black screen (dark mode), no errors.

You would think that the messages you receive are the primary focus of a messaging app, since you spend most of your time reading them. However, many big messaging clients like iMessage and Facebook Messenger highlight your own messages in bright colors, and color the other messages more neutrally. Because of this, the user's eyes are automatically drawn to their own messages.  Is there a reason for this? I know iMessage uses the colors to indicate whether a message was sent using SMS or data, however it doesn't seem to make much sense in other scenarios. What am I missing?

I haven't gotten a new activity pop-in for a while. Not sure when this started. I don't usually use SO but I went over there because I know that they have constant new activity and I still am not getting the notices. If you see in the screen shot below, I'm pretty sure that SO hasn't gone five minutes without activity in a while... particularly not at this time of day. But, no new activity pop-in.  The  says this:  Real-time notifications Most tabs should have real-time notifications now, including the &quot;need answers&quot; pages, and pages filtered by tags (with &quot;any&quot; or &quot;all&quot;)  But I'm not sure if the new activity notices are what the post is talking about. I'm trying to determine if this is a bug or if it's just me. Just for my info, I'm using FF 30.0.5 for OSX.
