It starts innocently enough. You download an app, and the app asks for your permission to send you push notifications. Sure, you think. What harm could come of it? I\u2019d like to know when my package arrives or my burrito is ready. But then you download more<\/em> apps, and they all need your permission to send you notifications, and before you know it your lock screen is awash with apps clamoring for your attention. <\/p>\n

The apps never shut up. They\u2019re hungry for engagement. They want you to know that your favorite items are on sale, that you haven\u2019t practiced your Spanish today, that your delivery driver is five stops away, that your child at daycare just had a blowout \u2013 all day, all at once. Welcome to a place we all live, a place called Notification Hell.<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t always lived here. For a while, companies like Apple wouldn\u2019t let app developers run all willy nilly with the power to request our attention at any moment of the day. They insisted that the power should be used for good, not evil. That didn\u2019t last long<\/a>. App developers are now permitted to send us marketing notifications as long as we\u2019ve opted into them. And guess what: if you\u2019ve opted to have any notifications at all, you\u2019ve opted into a lot of them. The call is even coming from inside the house now \u2013 Apple is promoting its services in settings menus<\/a> and Samsung is trying to sell you a new phone\u2026 while you\u2019re using your Samsung phone. There is truly nowhere to hide. <\/p>\n
