I had no idea people didn't do this! First notification I get from an app that isn't some form of messaging, straight to settings and turn off notifications.

People are getting notifications from news apps. Apart from actual World War Fuckin Three, what possible news story could be worth being disturbed by your phone for?!?

Well before the current Android version, you had to manually go into the settings of the app or your phone to disable them. Now you get this on first boot of the app:

This makes it a lot easier to reject them immediately

WW3 have that unblockable Presidential Alert emergency notification. There's no escape. 😔

Unless one disabled the correct system APK through ADB of course.

My phone hasn’t made a sound in years. It’s hard on silent and all notifications* go to my watch so it can tap my wrist quietly and politely. _ *I say “all”, but it’s calls, messages, and reminders. General purpose apps aren’t allowed to talk to me.
