Why don't people disable notifications? It must be really annoying if you have 10 apps and every hour they distract you with messages like "buy now! A new product with 10% discount (and 300% markup)" or "where are you? you haven't been watching videos from StupidBlogger for 1 hour".
- alistairSH 3y agoApps that do that don’t last long in my phone. But sometimes the notifications are useful… taxi/Uber has arrived, SMS/Messages, calendar reminders, important Slack channels, etc.
- codedokode 3y agoYoutube does that as far as I am aware.
- alistairSH 3y agoNo clue, I use the website.
- xelia 3y agoPush notifications are incredibly useful, especially for as private a thing as messaging. “Just disable notifications” isn’t a real solution for almost anyone.
- kelnos 3y agoI do have many notifications disabled, but there are still plenty I find useful. I allow messaging apps to both put up a push notification, and vibrate my phone. My email app (and others) can put up a notification but isn't allowed to bother me with a vibration. I don't get why people allow marketing notifications. If an app gives me a marketing notification without a way to disable it, that app gets uninstalled immediately. (Apps shouldn't even put up marketing notifications without you opting in first, but sadly this is the world we live in.)
- sliken 3y agoAny app that does that gets removed. I ditched a samsung galaxy note because of that, it would do stupid things like send me a notification for each local NFL game, which I couldn't disable. Amazon's kindle app and amazon prime video app did similar. It's pretty easy, I'd expect anyone that values their attention to remove the app or silence the notifications.
