Has anyone else noticed that notifications on share prices is broken? For me, whenever I get a notification that a share I am watching has changed significantly in price, the amount is says it has changed is always 4.5% either up or down.
If you click on the notification you see the real amount of change, e.g. +1.18%
Clearly there is a bug in the code where it is hard coded to 4.5%.
I replied to live chat, but am happy to repeat here. It’s not just one company it happens for. It happens for all the companies in my watch list (mainly tech stocks) such as:
Alphabet, AMD, Apple, ARM, Hubspot, Intel, Nvidia etc.
It also happens for both movement up and movement down. So the notification is always:
$AAPL is +4.5% or $INTC is -4.5% down
I know the stock market is volatile at the moment, but it did seem a bit fishy it was always 4.5%
We have taken an initial look and we have not identified a bug; with this said, there is an engineer on the ticket. We should be able to sort this by the end of the week.
We send a notification whenever the share price (checked every minute) goes above or below 4.5% relative to the previous market close.
Since the threshold is fixed at 4.5%, the percentage change mentioned in the notification is always exactly 4.5%.
If you open the price chart later by tapping the notification, the price movement may appear different. This is because the 4.5% threshold was reached at some point during the day—triggering the notification—but the price may have moved back within the threshold by the time you check it.
