Should we make Warpcast's spam categorization publicly available? Image a 5 category system for every account: not spam, maybe not spam, unknown, maybe spam, definitely spam. What would you do with this if it was available today?

Frames can now send notifications! - When you add a frame, it will have the ability to send you in-app notifications on Warpcast - Turn off notifications or remove a frame by long pressing the frame icon on the frames tab - Only frames you explicitly "add" to Warpcast can send notifications; simply using a frame does not grant notifications permissions
