Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night - eviltoast

A Common Sense Media report finds about half of 11- to 17-year-olds get at least 237 notifications a day. Some get nearly 5,000 in 24 hours. What does that do to their brains?

    I think it’s important for people to learn how to manage/customize notifications whether it be on the OS level or through each app individually.

    I keep a lot of things as silent notifications, so they pop up but don’t grab my attention. They’ll be there when I look at my phone. I think texts/calls are the only thing that makes noise on my phone at all.
