    yesssss

    I hate (mostly chat) apps that don’t have some form of cooldown. If I received a notification 3s ago, the app doesn’t need to issue another one for the same conversation as new messages come.

      I think stock android (pixel software) has a feature that is called notification interval (something like that) and it means that if an app has sent me a notification, it can’t send me another one for another x time. It’s extremely useful especially for messenger that blasts you with notifications when you use multiple devices

    There are people who don’t keep their phone on silent all the time? I only turn it off if I’m expecting a call for a job interview or something.

      I’m the same way. I don’t think I’ve ever turned the ringer on for this phone since I got it lol! I don’t even know what ringtone I have selected!

      I keep my phone on silent because do not disturb doesn’t do jack shit. Still vibrates in the middle of the night like the shitter it is.

        We’ve heard your concerns about Microsoft Teams, and we have developed a solution: clicking links in Teams will now open the webpage in Microsoft Edge, rather than your default browser. You’re welcome.

        i swear its some of the worst pieces of software ive ever used. its slow, unintuitive, lacks features, notifications somehow still suck as much as they did 5 years ago, and it does all that while also being a ressource hog.

    The fix is called silent mode. You can define emergency contacts that would ring anyway.

      I turn off haptics entirely and also usually keep media volume off until I want to to make sound. Any app that spams notifications doesn’t get to use them.

        Yep, same. For those apps that don’t have a built in vibration control and doesn’t respect the system variable, I use App Ops to manually set them.

    I’ve been applying the opposite strategy. On my remote work days, I leave my phone on full sound, and every notification that arrives and makes a sound or vibrates, I check it, and I personally modify its parameters to fit its case.

    After a week of this, my phone only rings and vibrates for the important stuff. Chats and email are fully silent now (if you really need me, just call). Also, now that my phone can ring (before this I just always set my phone on vibration) I’ve set up different distinctive sounds for the different important stuff so I know what’s up right away.

    You should try it too.
