I know a lot of people who never change their Discord notifications. They get notifications for every message in every channel in every server. It’s insane.
Obviously they do not actually interact with these notifications. They tune them out, and I guess eventually they will swipe them away. Personally it always stresses me out a little when I see their phones with a hundred notifications. I’ve never been a proponent of “inbox zero” for email, but “notification bar zero” has been my standard way of using smartphones for as long as smartphones have existed. If I got 3 notifications per minute on my phone, I would probably smash it with a hammer and go find a nice cave to retire to.
I have been doing inbox zero for a few months now and it has been great. Swipe right to delete, left to archive. Anything in my inbox actually needs my attention.
Also don’t give out my real email and unsubscribe from anything I don’t need. It’s just a few emails per day now.
What about permanent notifications? I’ve got “a few”.
Yeah, I have a few as well. A lot of those can be hidden without being killed if you long-press them and click the gear. Others I actually like to have so I can see the status, e.g. I want to know if my VPN disconnects.
The key will disappear from the status bar if it disconnects, you don’t need the app icon too.
It doesn’t have to. For example ProtonVPN stays active even if it disconnects. There’s still the VPN symbol, but the notification will tell you it’s trying to reconnect.
I just glance at it and instantly swipe away what I don’t need.
