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.
I fucking hate my family chats for this. My mom and my In-Laws all have iPhones, so of course they're always using the chat app reactions on everything. For some reason, that apparently means I need to receive said reaction as a separate text message on android. The text "Lexi: laughed at 'The dog farted'" never needs to be sent to my phone. Even worse is when we share baby photos or something and suddenly 20 instances of "Mom: Loved an image" "Adam: Laughed at an image" "Dad: Liked an image" start crowding out the actual conversation. I don't even know what specific images they're referencing! Why do I need those texts!? And don't get me started on the potato quality of videos because Apple refuses to use anything but their proprietary compression software and doesn't allow Android to properly decompress them.
One of the unsung advantages of being trans and having bigoted parents is not having to deal with that bullshit. I can't imagine loving and valuing my parents, that sounds like hell.
This comment emits a very strange energy.
