That's about 4990 more than I do.

I've disabled almost all of them. Even the ones I do get only appear as an icon on my notification bar. I don't even have lockscreen notifications anymore. I find it too invasive, and feel like the device is demanding my attention.

IMO all notifications should be opt-in. I basically have everything but my phone, text messages, and Outlook email off. The constant buzzing throughout the day was driving me insane.

I have rule where if I install an app it sends me a notification that isn't necessary for the app's functionality it gets deleted forever. I'd have to make an exception for work apps but I don't think its been an issue.

I have very few apps not from fdroid.

all notifications should be opt-in.

aren't they already? for the past few versions of Android, every newly installed app needs to ask you for permission to send notifications, and I'm fairly sure iOS has had it for even longer.

Turn sounds and vibrate off. Then you can keep it in your pocket and enjoy silence.

I'd love to, but I need to be responsive for work.

Then filter only those messages that you need to respond to. Not everything is urgent. Check the non-urgent things manually every 15 minutes and you will still be fine.

Yeah, I’m with you. I declared war on notifications during covid and they suddenly became super annoying whilst working from home

I disabled lock screen notification for a) privacy; b) so that I could see my nice lockscreen wallpaper
