In which way do we need to notify users about this change? A device message?

Push notifications can be sent when a user received a message via a chatmail relay, or at regular intervals, to wake up the user's phone while the Delta Chat app is not currently active, which enables it to receive messages. Current messages can then be retrieved on the end device. The token is only created if the user wants reliable receipt of messages even when the app is not active.

In order to use push notifications, a unique identifier or token (Push Notification Token) is created after the app is downloaded and installed. This token allows Delta Chat servers to send notifications to the user's device. The token is generated and provided by the provider. The token is then stored on our systems and sent to the device at regular intervals to cause the app to retrieve new messages from the e-mail provider. Our systems have no knowledge of whether a message arrives or who may have sent a message.

maybe clarify that we mean the operating system provider, not an email provider
