    I had no idea people didn’t do this! First notification I get from an app that isn’t some form of messaging, straight to settings and turn off notifications.

    People are getting notifications from news apps. Apart from actual World War Fuckin Three, what possible news story could be worth being disturbed by your phone for?!?

      This makes it a lot easier to reject them immediately
