Regarding notifications, both iOS and android doesn't support reading and responding to text messages. The feature works on android because of a workaround: apps create a global notification listener and they can also interact with notification - read UI contents and respond.

I know it's still better than not having a workaround at all like in iOS. But just pointing out that Google probably never meant to let others access notification mirroring.

This is incorrect – KDE Connect requests the SMS permission on Android. It does get access to the past messages.

Actually true. Thanks for correcting!
