yeah, I think we can remove them. Here is a JIRA for it:

any details?

I like how they are presented in the current UI

Not sure.... we keep them, and after 30 days there is a job to delete the
warnings. I'd keep them, for tracking that there was a problem a few days
ago.

which one ?

Isn't that miss leading? We can not guarantee that the message are
delivered to the phone.
We just give them to Google/Apple/etc. If they move them to /dev/null -
well :-)

yeah - do we have a JIRA for that ?

+1 for search only. Did you guys create a JIRA for that ?

It's not just group of devices - it's also per platform. Imagine if there
are paid and free versions of an app. That *can* be managed as two
variants, on one app. I am open to improvements here

+1 - perhaps we can improve the text on the UI ?

I still think the *skip* is too small.

Also, on the wizard, if it should always go to Send (but we had that on a
different thread)
