My phone (iOS) is perennially on Do Not Disturb + let calls through. In my life, calls are super rare, and 99% when they happen I want to know. Everything else can wait until I check my phone. Sure, sometimes I check it often when I'm bored, but when I'm concentrated / in the flow I am never interrupted.
I can't believe most people keep notifications on, and sometimes at full volume. It would drive me crazy.
- actionowl 7y agoI'm in pretty much the same camp here. One day I was chatting with a collegue and he asked if he could call me to work out a problem and I realized I had no idea where my phone was, the battery was dead when I found it. I hadn't even used for a few days. The majority of my time spent looking at my phone is for 2FA , taking a photo, or bored somewhere waiting.
- HenryBemis 7y agoSame.. usage may vary, but I have only kept notifications for messaging (but none on "groups" and I user "Favourites" for the calls/messages while on DND. Everything else sits in absolute silence as it should (for me).
- lunchables 7y agoI think it just comes down to how you manage notifications. I keep mine on for slack, email and sms. I disable notifications in slack unless you @me or dm. Texts are used by family and extremely close friends, very rarely. Email is for work and I need to be notified immediately. I get maybe 50-100 emails a day, 98% of which I receive while I'm sitting in front of a computer and can safely ignore on my phone.
