It has a reputation issue AND a product issue. The the product issue extends to its other properties like WhatsApp and Instagram.
There is no way to configure these apps to bother (i.e. notify) you only when you truly need to be notified.
- Facebook, once it notices you are interacting less, starts sending notifications that you had never received before, just to keep you engaged. For me, these are useless notifications.
- WhatsApp, has no way of configuring/identifying "get-the-other-persons-attention-now" type messages (e.g. "open the door" or "ok, done, lets go now") and messages that can be seen at anytime during the day since they are not urgent (e.g. shared links, articles, questions to which I do not need immediate answers, etc.)
- Instagram, lets not even go there...
