**Delta Chat version**  
Latest

Hi!  
I am testing the latest version of DeltaChat on my MacBook Pro (M1) and my iPhone (TestFlight).  
If I send a message from the iPhone, when the recipient reply my message, I receive a notification on my iPhone and also on my Apple Watch, but not on my Mac (if I have the app opened).  
If I send a message from my Mac, when the recipient reply my message, I receive a notification only on my Mac and not on my iPhone.  
Is it correct?  
Is it possible to receive a notification on all the devices where DC is installed?  
Thank you in advance.

Best wishes for a peaceful Easter weekend.

Is that an assumption or the result of your testing?

That’s what it should be, both devices should display the notifications.

Is the deltachat desktop app minimized or in the background?

It’s the result of my test.  
On my Mac DC is in the background (I click the red light - on the top left of the windows).

DC on my Mac is in the background (I click the red light - on the top left of the windows).

Does deltachat have the notification permission in the macOS settings?

Yes, as you can see from the image I attach.

The problem is not on my Mac.  
The fact is that once I receive a message, the notification runs only on my Mac and not also on my iPhone or iPad, where DC is installed.  
I am still trying, but I think that it’s also true the contrary.  
I suppose (but I hope to be wrong) that the notification works on the device where the sender sends the message once arrives the reply.
