I want a digest system for notifications on my phone.
This used to be common for mailing lists and web forums with email notification systems. I could get an email daily or weekly with the replies to my posts and subscriptions instead of real-time. The temptation to poll manually was reduced because I knew I'd be notified eventually.
I want to be able to tell my phone to do the same with its notifications, preferably with fine-grained control. For messaging apps, it would be extra nice if the sender could mark a suggested priority so I could let certain people I trust not to abuse the privilege interrupt me when they think it's urgent enough.
- sbolt 5y agoiOS 15 added something like what you are describing called Scheduled Summary. Notifications are snoozed and delivered at set times throughout the day (twice per day is the default). I believe there is also an API for developers of messaging apps to allow notification privilege escalation.
- Zak 5y agoThat is, indeed the feature I was describing. I hope iOS doing it means Android will follow suit soon.
