❓ Question
I've got the Android App from Google Play Store and have only subscribed to my own topic on ntfy.sh and the "announcements" topic.
However, I seem to randomly receive other notifications that I have not subscribed to and that look a bit cryptic to me. I've had 2 of them so far since last week and have deleted them immediately.
Here's an example:

Can you please explain why I'm getting these and how I can prevent them?

Thanks!

Found out it's caused by the Tusky app I have installed. It's using Unified Push and uses ntfy without asking or telling me.

In the next ntfy android app release, we will be adding a "disable UnifiedPush" option in the app's settings
