Does it irk anyone else when people have a million things in their phone notifcation bar

[Nine Tailed Fox]

Like a billion unread messages

 

and don't act like you've never seen phone screen shots before 

[Quinnell]

So much yes.  Almost as much as an inbox with thousands of unread emails.

FEAR ME

Spoiler

 

[zeusthemoose]

Yes. I can’t have any notification things on any of devices. As soon as I get it I find a way to clear the notification.

My parents on the other hand have almost 100 hundred thousand unread emails.

You monster.

[PhantomJaguarr]

Yeah. It’s always like that when I fix something with my parent’s phone and I automatically clear the ones that aren’t important.

[KablahGaming]

nope, don't care you would all probably burn my phone 0.o

[TetraSky]

Yes. It's not hard to just swipe them away. Or click the mark all as read button.

Letting it accumulate and not doing anything about it, means you're not on top of things.

[kpluck]

I find life is much more pleasant when I don't worry about things that don't affect me.

My phone is not a top priority to begin with. More important things to me, live outside of my phone. Those games can crash and burn for all i care giving me millions on notifications. HAHA

So, you don’t like this?

Yeah, fuck the game notifications. I agree. (Though if you're smart you would've disabled notification for said game)

 

But when the notifications are your text messages, people you know, talking to you, and you ignore them...
When it's hundreds/thousands of emails and you've never bothered even looking at them (spam not included)... That says a lot. These people are usually very bad friends and employees, because they either never get back to you or they pretend to have never received it when you next see them (I've had a few coworkers like that... then they pull their phone next to you and you see 999+ unread email.)

I can agree with this!

[piratemonkey]

It bugs me a ton. it bugs me when people don't even use notifications. My mom just goes through her phone to see which app made a notification sound for example.

[sub68]

yes I like seeing my inbox at 0

and my meesages too

[Alex Ushigome]

Meanwhile reddit spams me every 5 minutes. My peeve are people who keep apps open and never closes (looks at my mother).

 

I mostly keep notifications because I do open them at night, even the game notifications (events, stamina). Message/emails on the other hand, are read instantly, since I use Facebook Messenger and I just get a bubble pop up on Android, email I check hourly.

[soldier_ph]

Yes, as soon as I get a Message like a WhatsApp or Discord notif then I'm normally going to respond to it right away. I have turned of Email notifications for YouTube videos years ago and have ever since deleted every E-Mail notif they ever sent me. So I normally have just 4 to 8 Emails stared which I'm working on/dealing with in Gmail and always delete them as soon as I'm done with them. I use WhatsApp just to Communicate with Family members so we've got our slow moving Family Chat where I always Clear the Chat after 10 Messages and directly safe the cute dog photos on my phone. I've muted all Discord Servers where I'm a Member in and just scroll through and check 'em out on my own pace. I check if ther're any App Updates available in the Play store and do them if I'm on WiFi, I also completely shut down and reboot my phone every 72 Hours just because my phone Lock Screen requires the In put of the Pin itself every 72 Hours for safety reasons. Normally I unlock my phone in 3 Seconds with Fingerprint. So yeah my Notif Bar is always empty and when I look at my Parents iPhones I just have to cringe.

And people wonder why Apple isn't in a rush to let people place icons absolutely anywhere (though I'm sure that wouldn't stop some from having pages with just one or two apps).

Its OK. His iPhone SE is on the way, we ordered him a new phone because he keeps bitching about his current one not working. My Sister, Brother in law and my self all switched to Apple. I like the experience, and I found its easier in a lot of ways, so we ordered my dad one. Not saying Android is bad or anything. But Android to me is more for tech savvy people. Which my dad is not.

Sounds like he might appreciate it.

 

A favourite saying of mine: Android is for people who like to do things to their phones, iOS is for people who like to do things with their phones. Not that you can't ever tinker with an iPhone or get things done with an Android phone, but the stereotypical Android enthusiast is busy installing Lineage or fine-tuning Nova Launcher while the iPhone user is carefully editing their next Instagram video.

My dad was so lazy and not wanting to learn when my aunt ordered Jimmy Johns yesterday, she had to put his order in. Instead of her passing him the phone and him customizing the sandwich himself. My challenge is, Ive been on iOS for like 2 years...... So I dont remember all the tricks on Android. 

 

I figure with the iPhone I at least know iOS. Plus me and my sister can help him if need be. This is the same reason he has a Chromebook. I cant trust him with Windows. Especially with Windows 10.
