let them all in or only allow for some specific apps (if so which ones)?
I let the apps have a chance, but if they drop a notification when it wasn’t needed I remove the privilege. Unless it’s a game, then it’s insta muted.
Disable everything except email and WhatsApp, also SMS for deliveries
Why the fuck would you have BBC News notify you that Pol Pot won Strictly Come Dancing?!?
Never understood why people would leave notifications on for everything, except to have their phone beep in public to make them seem popular, maybe?
It’s all personal preference but I’d go crazy if I had email notifications on. If it’s urgent and I want you to have instant access to me you should be able to text me. Otherwise, email is something I look at at beginning or end of day. Same for work. It’s well documented at this point how destructive interruptions and distractions are to reaching deeper levels of thought, engagement and productivity…and that is not restricted to the work world.
As few as possible, meaning immediate communication apps and a couple that monitor devices. A few more can notify if they’re running.
Yes, and UberEats in particular is big mad about it. It brings me joy to tap “Deny” everytime it asks me to turn them back on.
The only notifications I get are texts/calls, and a couple smart-home things that are set to warn me about temps or when a light-timer turns on or off. Not even social media, especially not social media, get to interrupt my day.
I know I want some of them and I don’t have infinite apps, so whichever one’s irritate me after a few notifications I long press and disable that notification.
After a few weeks or so you just get the notification you care about
