The Android app has an option for periodic notifications, where it only checks for messages every 10 minutes. It positions this as battery saving, but in our information saturated, always on world, I think this is a great feature for user experience. It reminds me of old school email, where you could set the polling time. I like the idea that I can set the rhythm of my devices again.

- midasuni 3y agoI have never had my (I)phone do anything other than getting email when I load my email client. Why would I want that? The only notifications s I have are sms/WhatsApp, phone calls, and a 2FA app, and even then it’s only messages from my family that get pushed.
