Interruptions are the biggest downside of mobile devices, and this update still doesn’t address them correctly. The fix is simple: a big “OFF” switch at the top of the Notifications Settings Screen. In my mind, the only reason my phone should ever make noise on its own is when a phone call comes in from one of my contacts, or an alarm I set goes off. Notice that neither of those things are “Notifications”. Feel free to keep a list someplace of emails and texts that have come in. But I’ll check that on my time, so don’t ever interrupt me to tell me about it. Apps that want permission to appear on that list should have to explicitly ask for it, rather than getting it by default and forcing me to fish around in the notifications settings to turn them off for ever single app that I install. It’s amazing that no phone (or computer anymore) has anything approaching this.
