[Updated] Amino app chat 'not working' & 'showing repeated message notifications' for a section of users

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on January 3, 2023) follows:

Acquired by MediaLab, Amino is a social media platform that is known for its community and chat functionality. The platform is available as a mobile app and allows users to connect with each other.

Users can join various communities called ‘amino’, which are centered around a specific topic or genre like music, sports, and the like. Within these communities, users can participate and interact with others.

The app focuses on creating unique and engaging experiences for users who are passionate about specific topics and enjoy connecting with others who share mutual interests.

Amino chat not working & showing repeated message notifications

However, in recent weeks, there have been some reports (1,2,3,4,5) of issues with the chat feature as well as the message notifications of the app.

Another issue that has ruined the experience for some is the disruptive message notification. Some stated that they receive notification of the messages they had sent to someone else.

That’s not all, users are also repeatedly getting notifications of a message, but upon opening the app they find nothing new.

Is anyone else having a problem with amino right now? All my messages keep saying they are unread when I’ve read them multiple time??? If anyone knows how to fix it please help me!

In other cases, some are not able to use the chat feature at all and receive an internal server error. This further keeps them from being notified about any new activity on the platform.

The affected users have taken to social media platforms and forums to express their concerns and frustration while seeking a solution from the developers.

The chat feature is a major part of the Amino platform, and these issues with the feature have greatly affected the user experience.

It is important for the developers to address the issues, but it has not been acknowledged by the team yet.

We hope that they take note of the reports and come up with a solution that is reliable and provides a functional chat user experience.

Until then, keep tabs on this story as we will be updating it with further developments.
