I don't remember ever having to turn on one of those things. I have to do the exact opposite and go into the settings of almost all apps and disable notifications. This is not even related to privacy, as much as annoyance as all the apps want you to be "engaged", from chat pings (which are sometimes essential), to pushing ads through.
