I did the same thing for years, mindlessly browsing well past a sane hour. What changed is I started going to bed early and getting up early, before the sun rises. I still browse mindlessly on occasion, but my after-coffee morning browsing is a lot more directed than my drowsy evening browsing.
for me listening to audiobooks, music or podcasts is really helpful to keep the mind stimulated but slowly wind down in the evening

In UberEats (and many other apps) you can configure which push notifications you get. Is that functionally different than channels for the purposes of turning off marketing notifications? Both seem to rely on the App developer allowing you to turn off the notifications you don't want. The problem I have are the apps which don't allow that, which presumably also wouldn't allow to separate them into channels for the sa…
>Is that functionally different than channels for the purposes of turning off marketing notifications? I don't think so, it's just built into the OS which I personally prefer. >The problem I have are the apps which don't allow that, which presumably also wouldn't allow to separate them into channels for the same reason they don't let you turn them off. I think Apple is in a good position to enforce this though, given…
Like bookface?
If I could ask Apple for one thing it would be to require approval of every push notification that an app developer wants to deliver. That an app gets either cart blanche to send me notifications or nothing at all drives me crazy. I don't want to miss a notification that my delivery food arrived, but I don't want to be bombarded with daily advertising messages from foodpanda trying to get me to change my behavior. Re…
It's more interesting in Android. There's no notification permission , as every app is able to send notifications by default. But, there are notification categories. You can turn them off individually. Yes, the app developer is supposed to specify them themselves. And most actually do. Those who don't drive me nuts tho. I'm very careful with what I receive notifications about. Apple could definitely copy that. Right…
Who allows those kind of notifications to appear on the lock screen?
I have all but about 5 notifications disabled on my lock screen - I don't need some rando picking up my phone and reading whole convos or anything else
Severe weather alerts I'm fine with people seeing

Apple also abuses push notifications to sell their services so I don’t see this ending any time soon :(
Yet in over a decade of owning iPhones & iPads ... never seen it once

When does Apple ever send push notifications other than software updates?
I recently switched from Android to iOS and it irritates me that Apple push their own product multiple times a week. It might be because my account is new but at least once a week I get notifications of the free year of apple tv and apple arcade without any way to disable this (if you guys know of one please respond) Besides the notifications I think it's a dark pattern from Apple to actually show a red number badge…
I call bs - unless you've invited the notifications
I've never gotten such a notification in over a decade of running iOS
