I’m using the default messages app on my Google phone. The biggest source of my annoyance is every iPhone user adding reactions and such, which act like a new message for me. So any group chat may as well be a fireworks display of sounds and vibrations when it is active. I’ve only set one rule to cool down on messages for 5 minutes and it’s already made an impact.

The app lets me make specific rules for each app, but I don’t see a way to do a rule per group chat, which would be ideal, but this is already an improvement

I just downloaded it!

Nope. I have an android. I just downloaded an app called buzzkill from a recommendation. We’ll see how well it works out for me

I think your last paragraph sums up the reason for my frustration. Most of my family and friends are only chatting via the standard text app for their respective phones, and so I specifically would want to configure those notifications

I imagine it would be “$GroupChatName has new messages…” And can be dismissed the same as any other push notification. Whether or an additional notification comes after that could be configurable
