5000? I get annoyed just from one from an app I forgot I had installed.
Yeah that number sounds wrong. I get roughly a 100 a day.
My mom's phone looks like a notification factory exploded in her status bar. I bet she gets a dozen notifications a minute. She has all of her Facebook notifications on, set to push; she has weather notifications from multiple weather apps; she has email notifications, text message notifications, advertising notifications from random stores... it's hellish. Thankfully all of her notifications are set to silent.
Anyway, having seen my mom's phone, I can well imagine 5,000 a day in someone who doesn't know or doesn't care about notification hygiene.
Sounds like the time I got angry and turned my phone off for a week and then turned it back on.
Question: how does your mom function in that state? Does she just ignore them all or reserve a time of day to clear them out?
As far as I can tell she ignores all but the top two or three at any given time, and just checks individual apps (messaging, email) as desired. So functionally, it's like she has no notifications.
It was also discovered that more than half of the participants received more than 200 notifications in one day, with some getting an incredible 5,000 notifications in 24 hours.
5000 is 3-4 notifications a minute 24/7. I'm not seeing how a phone could be usable at that point.
