Problem Description

Every time Open WebUI updates, it throws up a notification toast for hundreds of our users. This often adds stress and anxiety for them, as they assume they are doing something wrong and missed doing an update.

Desired Solution you'd like

Would be nice to have a simple toggle in the admin settings (either in General or Interface) that allows you to silence those toasts.

Alternatives Considered

Obviously it's important to stay up to date. But since Open WebUI updates so frequently, we find ourselves getting the toast notification all the time.

Additional Context

No response

In fact, only administrators can receive notifications for the new version. Additionally, there is an option in user settings to disable this toast notification.

@ShirasawaSama Thank you for clarifying. I sometimes lose track of which things are unique to admins vs normal users. thank you!
