Why would you choose to subscribe to linkedin notifications? Why, in particular, would you choose to receive linkedin notifications on your watch?
Notifications is a privilege you should only grant to key applications, and watch notifications should be the most important of all notifications.
“Here’s a guy” via linkedin is not on the list of approved high-value notifications.
I agree. But I also haven’t meet anyone IRL who curates their notifications. In fact most people don’t seem to give a shit what apps they install and their notification bar usually has 3000 alerts pending.
If my phone buzzes at any point and I don’t want to see what it shows me, that app loses all notification permissions immediately.
This is the way.
Also, there are many apps that can have their notification silenced so it doesn’t ring or show on the lockscreen. I do this even for emails. The phone is checked easily more than 50 times a day, many notifications can sit silently and wait till I next pickup my phone for something else. Ringing should be reserved for things that need immediate attention worth the interruption.
After the recent news about using push notifications to track your activity, I disabled all notifications.
All of them.
I’ll look at my phone when I look at it. If you need something desperately, you’d probably call…
Not that I’d pick up. But I’d know to check everything else before I decide to text you.
I’m slowly cutting my phone out of my life. I’ve been hurt too many times and I’m defederating from modern society.
People are weird AF. I restrict almost all notifications and what’s annoying sometimes these assholes (looking at you Google Play) re-enable them.
Have you ever tried unsubscribing from LinkedIn notifications? The are like 300 and you have to do them all individually
the question is what series of horrible life events led to you needing the linkedin app on your phone in order for this to be an issue?
Posts like this make me realize it’s probably a blessing that I can’t afford a smart watch considering how terminally online I already am.
It’s had the opposite effect for me, in the past when I’d catch myself doom scrolling I had only pulled the phone out to make sure I hadn’t missed a message and then just didn’t put it back down.
Now I’ll just glance at the watch and see if it’s important or not.
