Arguably your phones notification feature is the unified feed. Theoretically it is possible (on Android) to write a custom home app to display those notifications without dismissing them.

There’s a launcher called T-UI I used to use when I had an android. One of the features it allowed was this. It would display a log of all your notification on your Home Screen and you could just click it and go straight into the conversation as if you’d clicked the actual notification. And u could always scroll up and view older notifications because they weren’t dismissed.

Sounds like a potential privacy & security risk, especially if the app can send messages too.

Yes, and that's why apps on Android need to explicitly ask for permission first. Giving the app that permission is a declaration of trust by the user. Not letting people do that would be a disaster for user agency in my opinion.
GDPR and similar laws also mandate clear user consent.
