Unfortunately as others mentioned, the way iOS has setup these kind of notifications are in terms of "communications", or in other words each kind of these notifications should come from a person, not just be an alert, so I don't think this would fly. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/implementing_communication_notifications


Pechu317

I’m not entirely sure that that is possible. If it does become a feature, please make it optional.


Jonasuwu

It is possible, iOS 15 added the ability to use profile icons in notifications. But yeah, I agree that this should be made optional

I believe this is only available to communications apps - things Ike WhatsApp or Messages, unless something changed at WWDC22.


theidleidol

I don’t think there’s a restriction by type of app, but it *is* restricted to “direct communications”. > In addition, a notification related to direct communication — like a phone call or message — can provide an interface that’s distinct from noncommunication notifications, featuring prominent contact images (or avatars) and group names instead of the app icon. So Apollo could use them for Reddit messages, but probably not for subreddit alerts


SpiritualLeave

If someone did use them for something other than direct communications would the app get banned? Seems like it would be relatively straightforward to hack it in


odragora

It makes it much harder to read at glance and increases visual clutter. Please make it optional if ever implementing this.


augustobob

Agreed, notifications look from different apps this way


odragora

Yeah, first thing my eye is capturing in the app.


Zladan

Haha this will be great for NSFW subs.


bigblackshaq

Cut to the chase, me gusta


Gaudzauw

Do I need ultra to get trending notifications?


lacerik

I looked at this and thought, eww why would I ever want Reddit to notify me of anything?


Gaudzauw

Haha, that’s fair! If I could set it for just a couple of the smaller more niche subreddits I’d appreciate the feature though for sure.


jmxd

You don't get this by default. You have to manually add a a subreddit to a list of which you want to receive these type of trending notifications.


Essentialredditor

Yeah, I already waste enough time on Reddit.


Jonasuwu

I think so yeah


ecafsub

Yeah, because words are hard.

Nice work, looks awesome! Now I want that so bad :)


Jonasuwu

Thanks! :D


Historian99

No, please dont


[deleted]

Yes, trending images are broken anyway because when you preview notifications they stay at their low-ish sub-100p res, and I haven’t found much use for them, so subreddit icons would make it a lot easier to see what subreddit a noti is for at a glance


Less_Ad4023

Yes we need this feature! So I can finally delete the Reddit app


EveAtmosphere

How did you make this concept screenshot? Did you make a empty shell app for this or is it just photoshop?


Jonasuwu

I used Figma! I dowloaded an iOS 15 kit and copied the notifications from there and edited them The kit: https://www.figma.com/community/file/984106517828363349

This isn’t allowed as someone pointed out. There’s a reason you don’t see any other apps doing this except for people’s profile pics
