Notifications aren't the culprit, they're already really limited on my phone.
I also appreciate the fact that I could use a simpler phone that really fits the original need: staying in contact, instead of doom-scrolling.
- CharlesW 1y agoNo one thing is the culprit, but notifications are one of the biggest. Surely Android has similar capabilities, but on iPhone "Reduce Notifications" (uses AI to silence unimportant/time-insensitive notifications) and Focus Modes in general are a great way to manage distraction.
- nottorp 1y agoNo, the idea is to turn them all off and make phone checking a conscious act instead of notification induced. Whoever needs you now can call on voice.
- flkiwi 1y agoWhat makes that difficult is when you have a legitimate case for time-sensitive notifications and the app owner mixes in marketing spam with no way to disable them. It's either accept marketing spam OR lose a valuable notification. Looking at you, LG.
- theshackleford 1y agoI leave notifications on because o only use them for things I need to be notified about. Largely, medical stuff.
