Do not know how many times I've been driving down the road peacefully listening to an audiobook when my family or friends start a conversation in a group chat that pings every 3 to 10 seconds with new replies or notifications that someone "loved" a comment or some shit.

My phone: "The truth was evident all along. In fact, the killer was..." PING ... "evident all along..." PING... "evident all along. In fact,..." PING... "evident all along. In fact, the killer was right under..." PING...

Me: "For the love of God, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Phone: PING

What would your ideal fix be? “Mute for one hour“, a prompt to pause notifications just for that chat until no sooner than audio is paused…?

Also would putting your phone on silent work? Maybe a “driving” focus mode if you’re on iOS where you allowlist only certain conversations…

([iOS] Nope can’t do that, maybe silent mode or muting that conversation it is… the latter of which can not be done with a shortcut!)

Room for improvement!

My ideal fix would be waterboarding people who design apps that ping me every time someone that isn't me reacts to a comment that isn't mine in a group text I didn't start.

You sure that’s a strong enough punishment?

Very silly it can’t be disabled - why not hide some advanced settings deep in iOS somewhere? Guess only 1% of people ever complain…

Speaking of complaining! They do care about their little feedback form:
