🐞 Describe the bug

When I send messages which use the new update, clear, and delete features, the web app responds as expected whether its run on Linux, Windows, or Android.

But when subscribed to the same topic as the above systems, the Android client version 1.21.1 (installed from Google's Play Store) does not respond in any way to messages which use the new features:

message updates result in additional messages and notifications being displayed and the originals left unchanged
the clear command leaves the notification(s) that are associated with the SequenceID still on display
the delete command does not delete the message(s) previously received with that SequenceID

💻 Components impacted
Android app

The 1.22.1 version is being released slowly. The release started at Jan 20 and usually takes about a week. I start at 5% of devices and slowly increase to 100% over 7 days.

You can join the beta on the Google Play listing page to get the version already.

Thank you for the response. I hadn't realized that a fresh install from Google Play wouldn't provide the latest release, or that you could do a limited push of updates to current installations. I've now joined the Beta, and can confirm that the features are now working as expected on my cellphone.

The new update/clear/delete functionality is fantastic, by the way. Thanks for that, and for ntfy generally!
