#12Why just teens?
Just because they chose to focus on teens does not mean that adults do not have similar issues. Not every article needs to encompass every single category affected by a problem.

#13I run my phone on DND all day, everyday and block notifications from almost all apps. The amount of garbage we have vying for our attention on an hourly basis is overwhelming sometimes. The worst is the apps where you do want notifications on, like your food delivery apps so you know when your food is at the door, but those companies take that as an invite to send you daily marketing notifications and it all feels li…
Uber is terrible at it.
Uber Eats.
I need the notifications for a taxi not marketing for groceries during the week

#14Almost everything that wants to send me a notification get put into scheduled summary on my phone. It’s much easier to deal with them a few times a day rather than at random times.

AFAIK, an app can’t influence notifications from other apps. At least on iOS. Less sure about Android. This is something that has to come from

#17Sometimes I will be having a conversation with someone and then their phone will buzz or make some sound and the person's attention will shift entirely to the phone. I don't think people realize the effect these gadgets have on their cognition.
I have a phone but it is always on silent. I've decided that it is not acceptable to remotely hijack my attention. No notification on my phone sent by some corporation is ever urgent and basically never requires my immediate attention.

I would like a “allow notifications for the next n hours/days” setting.
Pretty sure iOS could do that with focus mode and a schedule or an Automator shortcut

I, too, have been running my phone on DND as of late and it’s been pretty great. My wife disagrees :). I’m pretty sure iOS focus modes would allow me to configure notifications from my wife to come through while silencing the others but I’ll wait til she tells me :).
