According to Android Police, a number of people notice many different types of issues with the notifications. While the problems vary depending on the user, there are three main issues. The first one is the sound, which sometimes plays several times at different volume levels. When a notification arrives, the device usually rings one time only, but for some users, it repeats two more.

The second issue is with the volume. Some users reported that when their devices are connected to another one via Bluetooth, the alerts will ring even when users have set Do Not Disturb or Vibrate.

The last one is notifications surface again after users have swiped them away. For now, it seems like the issue is limited to Instagram and Facebook, but some other apps are also under its influence. No one can prove that this one is related to Bluetooth, but it might be, given the time when it was reported.
