I limit mine to messages and calls because I don’t like the distraction of tons of notifications. Curious what others do

    I don’t pro actively block any of them, because I do appreciate reminders, but once something starts to get annoying, it’s cut off.

    I have my phone permanently on Do Not Disturb, and anytime I have a notification I don’t like, I block the app from sending notifications.

    I basically have email, Signal, and missed phone calls left over (but voice messages are blocked).

    Calls, text, voice mails, my investment account when a stock sells, news alerts, when the washing machine finishes (so the load doesn’t sit there)

    Like yourself, SMS and phone calls. My bank app also handles authentication of online purchases a bit better with notifications enabled. Everything else is disabled.

    On desktop I have notifications for email as well as those mentioned above.

    Anything time-sensitive. Emails, calls, messages, and calendar reminders. Then I have a Sleep setting that silences all of them when I go to bed.

    Messages, phone calls, cameras, financial alerts, and a game discord (only server and game news specifically).

    None at all. My phone is for looking up things, and for looking at pictures that make me happy. I don’t need notifications for either of those, lol.

    none.

    I keep my phone on silent no vibrate.

    My father died three days before I checked my phone. my voicemail was filled with calls from him, “answer your phone boy!”, " I’m dying son, please send help!", “you were always your mother’s favorite…”

    the silence is deafening–

    SHIT there’s another lost kid alert!

    I have it on by default, until its abused. Once it’s abused it’s never getting it back

    Other than the necessities, the one app I allow notifications for is the C-SPAN app. They send maybe 1 notification a week for something like a live presidential address on a news event.

    Anything that might create excessive notifications (social media/news) I use as a web app on top of not enabling notifications.

    Only texts and calls are audible notifications. Everything else is slient.
