There is a way to separately turn off notifications for new nodes, however you have a Samsung phone that hides that away under advanced options.

Thanks for your quick respons. As i understand this doesen't realy help me.
In sumary. I can't change the notification behaviour, unless i turn off al notification or have an non Samsund device. Correct?

So this issue sholud rather be an feature request to ad in appsettings to manage notification settings.

It is possible on samsung devices. You dont need to turn off all notifications.
Samsung hides it in advanced settings, but it is there.
All notifications are managed by the operating system for apps, not just meshtastic.

Thanks this helped a lot.

But the behafiour is saw was in my eyes worng. The app keept notifing me for the same Nodes it reached. I find this very anoying and would think of this feature more in kind of notifing me if ther was a connection to a new Node (one witch has never been seen).

You are also running the app from January. I suggest updating from 2.5.16 app to 2.6.3 in the beta channel. A lot has changed in 5 months.

I am now running 2.6.2 but saw the same issue.

I think there is a plan for the firmware to check the app node database (which can be unlimited in size) before it "sees a new node".

But regardless, at this point I just turned off the new node notifications until everything is worked out.
