A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?

First thing I do when I install any app is turn off every form of notification. The only notification left on is the one for text messages and that's only via my watch.

The change to Android where notifications are now a restricted permission by default has been amazing. Just about every notification I get is one I care about because only ~5% of my apps can even do so. Those that send them too frequently quickly become part of the 95%.

IMO Android notifications have been beating iOS's notifications system for a LONG TIME. Which is funny because I'm pretty sure iOS was first to "modern" notifications
