I limit mine to messages and calls because I don’t like the distraction of tons of notifications. Curious what others do
Phone
SMS/MMS
Family Link
That’s it. Everything else can wait till I open it up.
The only thing that’s allowed to notify me is my pager for work
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)
Cameras?
Security cameras. My bad.
Ah that makes much more sense. Cheers!
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.
My sports betting apps. Need to know when the hot games are on🔥

Tracking Notification - Banners, SoundsEvery 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.
wait, you guys are blocking notifications? Are you allowed to do that??? /j
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).
I have my email silenced. The red dots are allowed but nothing else. Too much spam
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.
