Before this update, I don't think Primal had push notifications at all.
Other Nostr apps have followed that basic flow of having push notifications off by default.
Still others have strange behavior where push notifications only occur while you actually have the app open, which is the opposite of useful...
Either way, your current option in apps that give you one is to either have push notifications in real time, or no notifications at all. I think there could be a happy medium struck where users could opt for a daily or weekly summary/digest, either by email as with nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgewaehxw309a5xyu3wvdhhyctrd3jjuum0vd5kzmp0er5gcs's tool or by push notification with Pokey.
The advantage of pokey is, it's Nostr-native and it allows you to select the Nostr app you want to open the notification with, instead of being locked into opening the notification with one particular client. If the same function was added to Amethyst, for instance, then you would be more or less locked into opening the notification with Amethyst. Yes, you could swipe the notification away and open a different client, but it's less friction to just tap the notification to open Amethyst, so that's what most will do.
