In app notification setting toggle not working

Why do you guys have a toggle for like notifications within your app settings if you won’t allow it to be toggled off? I toggle it off but it automatically turns back on.

Unfortunate that this app has already become mainstream. The interface is very lacking compared to other social apps like WhatsApp, telegram, discord, etc. There are bugs in notifications where when I mute a chat I then receive no notifications at all.

Does not accept Puerto rican phone number.

Despite being a US territory with +1 phone number, the app says “country not supported” whenever I try to put my phone number in. Not inclusive and made by imbeciles.
