Not the above redditor but I use my phone similarly. The only apps with access to “time sensitive” (iOS wording) notifications are messaging, calendar and a few other apps I feel deserve immediate attention if something comes in.

Next are the “scheduled summary” notifications. I’ve set up summaries to happen every few hours throughout the day. These are apps I want to keep up with new info but don’t want flooding my phone with pings (the phone groups all the notifications into one bubble that can be expanded to see all contents)

Everything else I disable notifications on, drives me insane looking at some people’s phones with constant updates from 5 social platforms, messaging, email and ads from game apps.

There’s also the new Focus system, but I haven’t spent much time with it.
