I’ve removed every app I can over this because. Highly recommend. For the remaining apps that I can’t avoid like Uber, I turn notifications off. There’s a 5 minute window where I’ll have to switch between the Uber app and whatever I’m doing, but I’ll file it under fidgeting. I think it’s important to call out abuse of notifications for what it is. Notifications are for important events that a user expects. If a service wants to lie to me about what’s important, what else are they lying about? Amusingly, this is only conditioning me to use fewer apps on a phone, which is making switching to an Android with alternative firmware slowly become easier.
