Receiving a notification makes the user appear online briefly, despite not having opened the app

Observed behaviour

To the independent user, your profile switches to the green phone / "online (on mobile)" indicator, right as you receive the notification. After 10-30s, your profile goes back to offline. Note that I used to be able to reproduce this on my own devices with an alt account; now only with a second person and their account. The bug occurs in both directions between us. Lmk if this is actually an API issue I should report on the desktop side of things.

Reproduction steps

  1. Fully close the app
  2. An independent user can observe the gray / "offline" indicator on your profile
  3. Have the independent user message you, and do not interact with the notification and keep the app closed
