# Deprecation notices
This page is used to list deprecation notices for ntfy. Deprecated commands and options will be
**removed after ~3 months** from the time they were deprecated.
## Active deprecations
### Android app: WebSockets will become the default connection protocol
> Active since 2022-03-13, behavior will change in **June 2022**
In future versions of the Android app, instant delivery connections and connections to self-hosted servers will
be using the WebSockets protocol. This potentially requires [configuration changes in your proxy](https://ntfy.sh/docs/config/#nginxapache2caddy).
Due to [reports of varying battery consumption](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/190) (which entirely
seems to depend on the phone), JSON HTTP stream support will not be removed. Instead, I'll just flip the default to
WebSocket in June.
## Previous deprecations
### Android app: Using `since=<timestamp>` instead of `since=<id>`
> Active since 2022-02-27, behavior changed with v1.14.0
The Android app started using `since=<id>` instead of `since=<timestamp>`, which means as of Android app v1.14.0,
it will not work with servers older than v1.16.0 anymore. This is to simplify handling of deduplication in the Android app.
The `since=<timestamp>` endpoint will continue to work. This is merely a notice that the Android app behavior will change.
### Running server via `ntfy` (instead of `ntfy serve`)
> Deprecated 2021-12-17, behavior changed with v1.10.0
As more commands are added to the `ntfy` CLI tool, using just `ntfy` to run the server is not practical
anymore. Please use `ntfy serve` instead. This also applies to Docker images, as they can also execute more than
just the server.
