I limit mine to messages and calls because I don’t like the distraction of tons of notifications. Curious what others do
You must log in or register to comment.
Messages, phone calls, cameras, financial alerts, and a game discord (only server and game news specifically).
Been trying to decide on what to allow on my computer/home server.
But on my phone I allow texts, emails (don’t get many of them), discord (dms and certain chats), phone, and that is probably it. So just communication applications.
I have it on by default, until its abused. Once it’s abused it’s never getting it back
None at all. My phone is for looking up things, and for looking at pictures that make me happy. I don’t need notifications for either of those, lol.
My sports betting apps. Need to know when the hot games are on🔥
Only apps where I NEED to potentially respond to something. So texts, phone calls, alarm system, Snapchat (but only specific people/groups) and the pager app I use for volunteering at my local hospitals. Everything else, turned off.
Messaging apps, calendar, the ringer for phone calls, my Lemmy app ( although Connect for Lemmt seems hit and miss on delivering notifications, which is fine by me.)
I allow notifications from my email provider, my bank, and IMs - although I disable group notifications. Everything else is prohibited.
wait, you guys are blocking notifications? Are you allowed to do that??? /j
Anything time-sensitive. Emails, calls, messages, and calendar reminders. Then I have a Sleep setting that silences all of them when I go to bed.

Tracking Notification - Banners, SoundsEvery time I have to manually go into my authenticator I think to myself “I should really turn on your notifications so that I can just do this from the top-menu”
And then I hit my confirmation, close the app and don’t think about it again until I manually open it again lol
I only use FOSS apps, so never had to block any apps from sending notifications.
I’m sure FOSS apps are less intrusive, but they still use notifications surely? I’d generally want a calendar or messager app to send me notifications, but I might want to block a specific app depending on my use case.
I have my phone permanently on Do Not Disturb, and anytime I have a notification I don’t like, I block the app from sending notifications.
I basically have email, Signal, and missed phone calls left over (but voice messages are blocked).
I have my email silenced. The red dots are allowed but nothing else. Too much spam
none.
I think the only apps I have currently giving me notifications that aren’t permanent or semi-permanent notifications (netguard, browser, and my local music player app) are my calendar, messaging app, and a single game. I refuse to let either the number of open apps and notifications on my device pile up to more than maybe 5 each, max.
