Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
That's the problem. Literally every app comes with notifications enabled by default. You need to explicitly customise the notifications in the app or via the phone's settings.
If we had a mode that blocked notifications by default like web browsers do, you'll inevitably get "you must enable notifications before you can continue to use this app"!
Luckily Android has a notification permission that you can easily deny when starting the app.
Android 13 and later.
I've uninstalled apps because I can't be arsed finding out how to shut them up before.
