        Only problem is Do Not Disturb will silence all your contacts. Now, you might say well just have set so it doesn’t silence your important/starred/specified contacts, which is true. But then, you’ve got it where a started contact is sending you texts at 7 am and you sleep until 10 am, and now you’re mad cause they woke you up. Only option is to silence them too, but now you’re not hearing their texts/calls until it’s scheduled to be off, and if an emergency ever happened you’d feel like shit.

        So yeah a “silent send” option would be really nice.

        The point is so that you could send critical messages that notify them and low priority ones that don’t. In this example, they could send a message if something was wrong or they needed help that notifies, or just a “all good” message without a notification. The receiver can’t know what will be sent in the future.

        No but sender can request receiver’s phone to make silent notification as a metadata. afaik signal or session do not have such feature. idk if some xmpp client support it with say xmpp resource.
