Confusing Notification Wording for Profile Views

Submitted by Harshad D June 3, 2026 Shipped Jun 3, 2026

Issue:
The profile view notification currently says things like:

  • “1 person viewed your profile today”
  • “3 people viewed your profile today”

At the same time, the notification itself may have a timestamp such as “7 days ago”.

This creates a contradiction because the notification content says “today”, while the timestamp indicates the event occurred several days earlier. Users may become confused about when the profile view actually happened.

Suggested Solution:
Remove the word “today” from the notification content and let the timestamp communicate the date/time of the event.

For example:

  • “1 person viewed your profile”
  • “3 people viewed your profile”

The timestamp can then display:

  • Today
  • 6 days ago
  • 1 week ago
  • 2 weeks ago
  • Or an exact date such as May 29, 2026

Benefits:

  • Eliminates conflicting information.
  • Makes notification history easier to understand.
  • Improves notification tracking and clarity.
  • Creates a more consistent notification experience that can be applied to other notification types across the platform.

Priority: Low (UX Improvement)

 

Impact: Minor issue, but resolving it would improve overall notification clarity and user experience.
