It’s time for a hard reset on notifications

Push notifications should be a privilege, not a right.

If you're on IOS, the Focus feature is great. I use it primarily for sleep to turn off all notifications except for calls (in case of emergencies). But you can basically configure multiple profiles with different notification settings. Also, whenever I install a new app on my phone, I turn notifications off unless it's a time sensitive app like a messaging app.
- My work phone is an iPhone and I love this feature. The moment it's past work hours I no longer get buzzed for any notifications, and I only see direct messages on the home screen
- Android's Do Not Disturb feature is also like this. You only get notifications from calls, alarms and apps you specifically allow.
- That's interesting and I've never heard of the focus feature (I don't use my phone very much). Where do I find the focus feature?
