This is a smart way to always know when your favorite creators (ahem, me!) have a new video live.
🔕 Pause doorbell cam notifications: Good for when you’re hosting. In the Ring app, press Alerts Snooze > Snooze Duration > Start Snooze. For SimpliSafe cams, press and hold a notification, and snooze options will pop up. Easy!
Notifications are out of control
How many of them do you get in a day? The answer will suprise you.
The apple of my lie: Apple Intelligence is messing up news summaries. Phony notifications include tennis star Rafael Nadal coming out as gay and Israel’s Prime Minister being arrested. The BBC says it’s hurting the credibility of news outlets. Always read past the headlines!
Alexa alerts you when your Whole Foods order is ready: Just open your Alexa app > More (three lines at the bottom) > Settings > Notifications > Amazon Shopping and toggle it on. When you get notified, just say, “Alexa, check into Whole Foods,” so they know you’re on your way.
Ding-ding-ding! Sign up for text and email alerts from your bank. I do, and, yes, it’s a bit annoying to approve purchases I’ve made, but it’s also notified me a few times someone got their hands on my card. In your banking app, go into Settings and look for Alerts or Notifications.
More replies = more reach: Want more engagement on social media? Accounts that reply to comments within 30 minutes see 50% more engagement on future posts. Stay on top of it by turning on post notifications. Look under Settings > Privacy > Notifications.
👀 All the better to see you with: Your iPhone uses the camera to detect if you’re looking at it. That’s why your notifications are quieter, your phone auto-unlocks and your brightness doesn’t dim when you’re looking at the screen. Don’t like it? Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Turn off Attention Aware Features.

Plus, there’s a fresh term to catch up on: Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI. Let’s unpack it together.
