Hi! Yes, they disclose to the server a pair of PbK and WAtoken. The WAtoken could be unique or shared, but the PbK should be the same for each installation of the app. So, yes, we know which users share the same PbK (that could eventually be mapped to a app). I totally agree (and I think that Thinker's patch has this) that we _must_ ask the user to allow push notifications, but maybe he does not know what that means. (and also: "Yes", "Not now", "Never"). And I was talking with FernandoR that we should have a good UI to show the mapping of app<->URL to list every app that has a push URL, and add a method to revoke them (it's mostly implemented in our server, we need to test it).
