Batched notifications: I'd love this. As it currently stands, most of my apps have lost permission to notify because they abuse it. I don't want to be constantly prodded and poked to interact, so there's very few that get it enabled now. That even includes email, and it's so much better. It's reduced screen time massively, and I mostly check email on desktop instead now with my phone as a secondary on-the-go way of communicating.
Turning off autoplay, yes please. Greyscale, interesting idea. The rest of it, meh. I'm not so sure it would have any meaningful impact or that it wouldn't be replaced with other much darker patterns.
Better user-centric control of notifications is what we really need to silence the cry for attention by the apps and would go a long way towards allieviating digital addiction in my opinion.
- bengale 5y agoThe majority of my apps are set to deliver quietly on iOS so they just go into my notification drawer without an alert.
- antonyh 5y agoI killed them completely because they choke the drawer too. I don't know if I've set some option somewhere but they seem to linger forever, swiping them away doesn't stop them reappearing later. I'd rather have none than all my unreads keep notifying (I'm on iOS 14)
