Why do users ignore notifications?

Remember, the reason why people mute notifications is because they're annoying. As we saw earlier, sending too many notifications in a week can be so annoying that it will cause people to stop using your app altogether.

What is the purpose of notifications?

A notification is a message that Android displays outside your app's UI to provide the user with reminders, communication from other people, or other timely information from your app. Users can tap the notification to open your app or take an action directly from the notification.

Do notifications cause stress?

These seemingly endless dings and buzzes can take a major toll on our wellbeing. Research has linked them to depression and anxiety, and they may even trigger symptoms associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
