On Android, I've unsubscribed from everything except presidential alerts.
I had my last straw when I started getting alerts for wear a mask and other ridiculous crap.
- MerelyMortal 5y agoIt would be really nice on Android if I could get the alerts without the obnoxious noise. Since the noise and the alert are tied together, and I absolutely detest the noise, I have the alert turned off. It's silly that you can turn off the ring for a phone call and still get the notification, but can't turn off the alert noise without also turning off the alert notification.
