🐞 Describe the bug
Opening a topic can be slow or cause hangs when the device has a large backlog of delivered notifications

💻 Components impacted
iOS

💡 Screenshots and/or logs

  • Open the iOS app after 200+ unread notifications
  • Tap a topic
  • Topic view opens slowly / app appears hung for a few seconds. Or crashes

🔮 Additional context

  • When a topic is tapped, NotificationListView calls cancelSubscriptionNotifications()
  • This fetches all delivered system notifications on the device, filters them in memory, and removes matches for the selected topic
  • This causes main thread unresponsiveness
