    What I’d like is the ability to rate limit notifications. If I get a notification from a text, then the same person or same app notifies me within 15 seconds because of another incoming message, I want it to only notify me once.

    I have to have sound/vibration on for work due to the type of industry I’m in, but sometimes if there are a bunch of active conversations going on, my phone is vibrating like a sex toy and I just get exhausted.

        Well, that’s cool. I have searched a few times over the years for this, but stopped looking eventually.

        Did you purchase it? If so, do you find that it works?

          I bought it, I really like it. It’s simple to set up.

          Only glitch is sometimes it mutes an audiobook for a second when a notification comes in, even though you don’t hear the notification

          I honestly haven’t used it enough to know how well it works, but their advertisement has the cooldown thing mentioned. I hope it works for you.

    Who the fuck either has sound turned on that often, or has notifications that old?

    I didn’t even know notifications could make noise past their initial display.

      The example given in the article is for a device you don’t turn on that often

      Ive started using iphones at the very beginning with nokia s60 phones. By the year 2012 I was overwhelmed by notifications and i started to adopt the policy “you need me urgently? Call me” I have Disabled all notifications except for calls. I have no push notifications active and a great phone battery life.

      I still use telegram for messaging but on my own pace (messages gets downloaded only when i open the app)

      Drastic measure
