A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?

Thanks to the damn notifications now I HATE modern phones, I have uninstalled nearly every app from my phone, deleted mail accounts and set some tools to make my phone a normal phone again, nowdays smartphones are just a source of annoying ads. I installed an app (I think the name is minimalist phone) and it has a function to create a "box" for low priority notifications.

    Android gives you very good control over notifications, from turning them off completely, to blocking certain ones at certain times.

    Notifications are hardly a problem for me anymore.

    And if you do get a stray unwelcome notification, just long press it and disable that type of notification from that app right there.
