Signal already has a setting that blocks message content from displaying in push notifications; the case highlights why such a feature might be important for some users to turn on.

That's a different vector.
What's your vector, Victor?

Why would any phone / desktop keep notification history? I already don't get the notification feature in default KDE Plasma desktop.
If you accidentally dismiss a notification, you can go back in the history to see it. Or if you dismiss a message notification that you want to respond to later. Or if a notification keeps popping up and disappearing and you want to investigate.
Fair enough. But I don't think more than 24h of notification history would ever be needed, right ?
Debatable. But I have it enabled on my Android phone, it and indeed only shows me the last 24 hours.
