I do this sometimes. After I reply, I don’t expect another question maybe because I assume it would be in a single question otherwise. Then I return back to whatever I was doing and can often not notice any new messages ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On the other hand, I’m usually ok if you choose at your own discretion in such a case, I’m not the one to be picky if I failed to choose in the first place
One thing that sometimes happens to me is that I receive a message right as I’m closing an app, meaning that it has just enough time for the notification to disappear but not enough time for me to actually see the message. Then I won’t notice until I open the app again, which I usually don’t do unprompted.
Exactly this. I have missed semi important message this way. Signal seems to be particularly susceptible, not that I would blame them or call it a bug just a very weird niche case.
Do you immediately close the text app after sending the message? In the scenario I described, I’d see the “they are typing” indicator and then wait for their message.
I don’t understand some people. Maybe it’s the ADHD?
Like, I’ll text them “Should I bring something to the party?”
They’ll immediately reply, “Sure. How about wine?”
I’ll immediately reply, “Cool. What kind?”
And then no answer. For hours.
I can only assume that they threw their phone in the river as soon as they sent their text message. Maybe it was overheating.
Thats how I text and it’s 100% my adhd.

It is possible that they disabled notifications appearing more than once every minute.
I too have this enabled, because I hate it when people send 5 consecutive messages instead of adding it all into one.
So now I can only get one notification per minute.
Next time try waiting 60 seconds before replying.

Not the sixty second guy but I do. Why would I look at it any longer?
If you’re having a real time conversation, you’d see if they’re typing back right away
Can check later though, whatevs. Minute or two won’t change a thing.
Right. Unless you don’t check for hours, as in my original post, and I end up getting a kind of wine you didn’t like.
