Unable to concentrate on your work or relax with your favorite TV show because of annoying notifications from your devices? Social media alerts, announcements and news that you don't want to know about but pop up? A few simple settings will help you take control of this information overload and put the world on hold. In this post, we talk about managing notifications on a phone or tablet Android.
There are many ways to customize the system on Android than disabling some or all notifications: user can choose whether they want to see alerts on a locked screen, whether they need pop-up notifications, whether they want to receive while sleeping and much more. The user decides.
Many manufacturers change interfaces in their own way, so the settings menu may vary from device to device. However, the basics are the same.
Turn off notifications on Android once and for all
Your smartphone settings contain a separate menu for managing app alerts. Start your path to digital wellness right there.
• Open it Settings ( Options );
• Insert Notifications in the search bar or manually locate the item in the menu;
• Select each app and configure its notifications.
Many applications provide flexible configurations for specific situations. For example, in messaging apps, you can disable channel alerts and allow them only for private chats.
For those who don't have a lot of apps installed (or have a few hours and a lot of patience), this is a good way to make your app notifications work for you. Setting app settings by app can be tedious, but you'll get immediate results.
In addition to its general settings, Android has a programmable “focus mode”. you will find it in Digital Wellness and Parental Controls and can use it to prevent apps from sending notifications.
In the same menu, the toolbar shows how much time the user is spending on each app and how many notifications the app sends, a stat that helps determine which services are distracting you most often. If you spend a lot of time on news apps, social networks or games, for example, set a limit on how much time you can spend – and of course, while an app is blocked from working, it can't send notifications either.
You don't have to give up on social networks and other services that can totally distract you. You can solve the problem and spend a little time on the settings.
