I agree. But I also haven’t meet anyone IRL who curates their notifications. In fact most people don’t seem to give a shit what apps they install and their notification bar usually has 3000 alerts pending.
Does she also just leave the apps in their original download place on her home screens? I always wonder about the lives of people who have like 5+ screen of unsorted apps.
My wife has six home screens each with a random selection of apps and widgets. I feel like there would be more order if they were just in the position they landed when she installed them. She never clears notifications or closes browser tabs. I feel anxious whenever I use her phone to do anything.
Also, there are many apps that can have their notification silenced so it doesn’t ring or show on the lockscreen. I do this even for emails. The phone is checked easily more than 50 times a day, many notifications can sit silently and wait till I next pickup my phone for something else. Ringing should be reserved for things that need immediate attention worth the interruption.
Why would you choose to subscribe to linkedin notifications? Why, in particular, would you choose to receive linkedin notifications on your watch?
Notifications is a privilege you should only grant to key applications, and watch notifications should be the most important of all notifications.
“Here’s a guy” via linkedin is not on the list of approved high-value notifications.

People are weird AF. I restrict almost all notifications and what’s annoying sometimes these assholes (looking at you Google Play) re-enable them.
The only notifications I allow are messages and emails.
What the hell else would I need to be notified about?
I get notifications for rocket launches from Cape Canaveral so I can go outside and look at them, but that’s very geographically specific, lol.
Exactly!
Maybe like earthquake and storm alerts?
No surprise, Play is malware.
I’m the person OP is talking about and my wife is the person you’re talking about.
It is physically and emotionally painful for me to have to look at or use her phone.

If my phone buzzes at any point and I don’t want to see what it shows me, that app loses all notification permissions immediately.
This is the way.

After the recent news about using push notifications to track your activity, I disabled all notifications.
All of them.
I’ll look at my phone when I look at it. If you need something desperately, you’d probably call…
Not that I’d pick up. But I’d know to check everything else before I decide to text you.
I’m slowly cutting my phone out of my life. I’ve been hurt too many times and I’m defederating from modern society.
Sometimes I give apps a one star review because of this.
Same, it’s actually triggering given how easy it is.
Which they then don’t notice in the mass of useless bull.
Have you ever tried unsubscribing from LinkedIn notifications? The are like 300 and you have to do them all individually
I never subscribed in the first place.
the question is what series of horrible life events led to you needing the linkedin app on your phone in order for this to be an issue?
