Constantly harassed about switching notifications on — is this deliberate?

This problem seems to apply to Signal on iOS only. It is clearly not an iOS problem given that none of the other common messaging platforms have this issue.

When notifications are switched off, rather than just acknowledge & move on, Signal will ask you to switch them on, then say “We’ll remind you later” and proceed to ask you to switch them on every time the app is reopened. It’s infuriating and from a quick search, this has been going on for 4+ years.

Is this deliberate behaviour? If so why? If not why can’t Signal fix what should be a trivial bug.

Some of us use Signal mostly for group chats and don’t want notifications, or even an unread badge. Sort it out.

Changed my name many years ago, but my SSN has my old name (Streamlined procedure / filing for the first time)

Hello! I've had trouble finding out info on what to do in this situation, would love some advice. I changed my name (including US passport) a while back. I've never lived in the US, and recently realised I need to be filing, so I am looking into the streamlined offshore procedure. All my finances & employment are tied to my current name of course.

I don't know whether I should change my name with social security first, then file (preferred from my standpoint), or if doing it in this order carries the risk they see that I have never filed and give me trouble. Any thoughts, particularly if you've been in my situation before?
