    It’s a welcomed feature, but there is really no excuse for struggling with notification spam on modern versions of Android. There are enough controls available, both at a system level and within apps themselves, that it’s more a case of user error at this point. If you have an app that is just completely out of control then I would question why you actually need something so intrusive installed on your device in the first place.

      I mean, yes and no. I have multiple Slack and multiple Teams instances. I also have 10 or so email accounts and then SMS and Signal.

      Even spammy app notifications aside, I definitely get a lot.

      But my solution is just leaving my phone on silent 24/7. So this feature wouldn’t really change anything.

      There are still apps that won’t bother to separate their notifications into different categories so that you either have to block all or nothing. I think Uber and Lyft do this.

      Meanwhile the meetup app has so many different categories that they’re useless.
