I get all the messages twice

[fr0gg1ee]

Steps to reproduce

If i am using Element on my pc, I also get every single message on my phone. It does not matter if i have read it or not, I get a ping either way. It is quite inconvenient, because i constantly hear useless messages on my phone. It fills up my screen, and brings me no use. I thought i would report this, because It is unnecessary.

Outcome

I hope this can be fixed or made a setting where you can disable it. Thank you!

There is already a setting to disable the notification on Element X Android. The mobile application cannot know that you're using Element desktop / Element Web to not display notification What solution do you suggest?

this works for other messengers tho, signal for example. While i am chating in the signal desktop client, I am not constantly getting notifications on my phone.

Without knowing anything about element codebase, I'd say this may be a server issue rather than a client one, since the server needs to forward the notification to the first active client rather than to every client
