A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?

    That’s the problem. Literally every app comes with notifications enabled by default. You need to explicitly customise the notifications in the app or via the phone’s settings.

    If we had a mode that blocked notifications by default like web browsers do, you’ll inevitably get “you must enable notifications before you can continue to use this app”!
