Unless I absolutely have to have the app (work or something), I avoid it. Webpage any day. It wont bug me in the middle of the night.
3AM. Sleeping
Phone: BING!!!
Me: *groggy* shit, hope everything is ok...
Me: *picks up phone*
Phone: Rayman Adventures has updated!
Me: *uninstalls Rayman Adventures, angrily goes back to sleep*
- scarface74 8y agoThat’s an easy one - set Do Not Disturb to start at 10:00 and end at 7AM. It will still allow messages through for contacts that you specify. In iOS 12, you can turn off notifications directly from the Notification Center for an app that bugs you.
- retromario 8y agoNot to sound condescending but why would you have your notifications on at night? 10pm-7:30am do not disturb has been a godsend.
- sethammons 8y agoWork. Slack, texts, calls (could be anyone in my department whose number I don't know), PagerDuty, the random number PagerDuty call from. More of a pain to whitelist than to just avoid random apps with notification.
- scarface74 8y agoYou have to specifically allow notifications after you install and launch the app. Just say “no” when it asks you for permission to send you push notifications.
- retromario 8y agoGood luck, it sounds like a nightmare to be on call all the time.
- sethammons 8y agoOne week out of five (rotation). Our software has to work (and work well) 24/7/365.
