Stop the constant interruptions

February 19, 2024

🤳🏻 Does it bother you when you’re talking with someone and they get a notification on their phone, look down and read it? It’s like your convo with them wasn’t as important as knowing the exact moment someone liked a tweet or posted a new vacation photo. So rude.

My solution: Let notifications come through at specific times. This way, you can stay focused on what matters.

On iPhone:

• Go to Settings > Notifications and scroll to select the app for which you want to receive notifications. (NOTE: You’ll need to enable Allow Notifications for this to work.)
• Tap Notification Grouping. Here, you can choose Automatic, By App or Off. To batch your notifications, select By App.
• In iOS 15 and later, you can also receive a summary of notifications at specific times. To set this up, go to Settings > Notifications > Scheduled Summary and enable it.

On Android:

• Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications. Steps may vary slightly depending on your phone.
• Tap to see a list of all your apps. Pick the app you want batch notifications for, then tap Notifications.
• On the next window, look for an option called Notification Grouping or Bundled Notifications. Turn it on or select how you want your app’s notifications grouped.
