Esteemapp v 2.0.7 (Opening notification should take user directly to content they are being notified about.)
Project Information
Repository: https://github.com/esteemapp/esteem-mobile
Project Name: Esteemapp mobile
Publisher (if applicable): good-karma.
Describe the bug
With push notifications enabled, I should receive notifications of most activities that's related to to my profile. Notifications ranging from upvotes, to comments, mentions etc. The notifications come in accurately.
Opening these notifications launches the app, but doesn't take me to what I'm being notified about.
How To Reproduce
Trying to reproduce the bug is quite tricky. Naturally, you will have to receive a notification of an activity first. But this can be artificially done by asking a friend to perform an activity on your profile. Either an upvote or a comment. When the notification pops up on your navigation bar
- Click on notification
- The app opens
- Enter password or pin
- Feeds is displayed instead of the content of activity you were notified of.
Expected behavior
I expected that when I get notified of an activity, I should be taken directly to the content where that activity was performed and not the feeds page.
Screenshots or Video
As at the time of filing this report, there was no notification. I could not generate one artificially because my friends are asleep.

Hi @harry-heightz, thanks for making this contribution..
The PO acknowledged the said behavior to be true. In his words "for now it forwards user to Activities/Notifications page but we have exact same behavior on our todo list".
Meaning they were aware of the behavior before the report and already had it on their todo list. It is a good observation, although it is an intended feature which they have promised to improve on in an 8 week milestone.
Thanks again for the report :)
