Nope, I have very few notifications allowed on my personal devices. Basically Messages/SMS and phone. And those are set to vibrate/visual, no sound.
Work laptop also has email and Slack visuals, no sound.
And I use Focus/Sleep to eliminate all (except wife/kid/parents) notifications from 9pm to 7am.
Edit - I can think of only 2-3 apps that send push notifications and they're mostly fitness related. The notifications are generally of the type "your workout was synced" and the only reason I leave these up is I use 3-4 apps and when they don't sync, I want to manually force a re-sync. None send random "we've updated a thing!" messages (and if they did, I disable the notifications).
I absolutely do NOT want random, unscheduled notifications that aren't directly related to something I did/am doing.
- dymk 4y agoI don't understand how it's acceptable for apps like Uber or DoorDash to deliver to me an unprompted ad, pushed into my notifications center. It's always something like "10% off your order for the next day!" or "Try this new pass thing!". Firstly, that's a guaranteed way for me to disable all notifications from the app, if not uninstall it. Secondly, how is that not a violation of some sort of Apple Developer Guideline? I wish they'd crack down on that sort of thing.
- aendruk 4y agoAbsolutely unacceptable. Apps that abuse notifications to run ads get a one-star review and uninstalled. Lyft, Gig, Lime, Instagram, Migraine Buddy—dead to me. And simply revoking permissions isn’t a solution; the core problem is that the app would even try to abuse its privileges. Imagine being content with someone trying to come though your door just because you’ve turned the deadbolt. Their behavior is still unacceptable.
