Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Occasionally I get a notification on my phone (running iOS) that a new version of the calendar is available.

5D60D4E7-35EF-4E4A-8252-29391043148B

Expected behaviour

The app or notification itself communicates what to do about this update. It is unclear what the purpose of the notification is and what I should do about it:

  • This notification does not impact my use of Nextcloud and does not require me to do anything. In that case I think the notification should not be sent at all.
  • This notification makes it possible for me to use new features or fixes bugs. In that case I’d like an easy way to see what changed, for example if opening the app would provide me with an option to open a link to the release notes or so.
  • The text indicates mere availability but perhaps I need to do something to install this version that became available (the text didn’t says that it was automatically installed)
Actual behaviour

A notification is received without a clear purpose.

Research direction
