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

    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.

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

    (edited to clarify)

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

    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.

      Every time I have to manually go into my authenticator I think to myself “I should really turn on your notifications so that I can just do this from the top-menu”

      And then I hit my confirmation, close the app and don’t think about it again until I manually open it again lol

    Beyond calls and texts I’m very selective with my YouTube “bell” subscriptions so I allow notifications there as I generally want to watch them.

    Calendar. Banking apps. That’s it.

    All notifications are silent and have been forever. If it’s important someone will call me, otherwise I don’t want my phone to interrupt what I’m doing.

    I allow notifications from my email provider, my bank, and IMs - although I disable group notifications. Everything else is prohibited.

    I only use FOSS apps, so never had to block any apps from sending notifications.

      I’m sure FOSS apps are less intrusive, but they still use notifications surely? I’d generally want a calendar or messager app to send me notifications, but I might want to block a specific app depending on my use case.

        Well, I don’t know what we’re counting here. Generally, if FOSS apps have notifications which one might perceive as annoying, they’ll have a checkbox in the in-app settings, so I don’t need to *block* them.
        There is one scenario, where I’ve blocked notifications, which is when an app wants to run in the background, then it has to put up a permanent notification. I hadn’t counted that, since that’s an Android requirement.

        Aside from that, IMHO it’s pretty clear-cut whether notifications are either necessary or subjective or not a good idea, so apps with user interests in mind can get that right quite well.

          Okay, that makes sense. I took OP’s question to be about what notifications you use/want and which you turn off. They describe allowing only calls and messages, and were asking what else people permitted. E.g. I don’t allow my lemmy app to notify me about replies, but I’m sure some people do.

    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)

    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).
