Before Fall 2021, there was a notification option that Canvas app users could receive notifications if someone responded to their post but now that function is disabled. This defeats the purpose of the mobile app and forces students to receive a large number of emails since that is the only way to receive this notification at this time. The point of the app is to provide simplicity but that is not the case anymore and allows students to miss responding to each other due to mobile notifications missing. Even when the email option is enabled, it sends emails for responses to any posts which increases the number of emails coming through in a day and week.
