You can turn the little red bubbles off.
Go to Settings
Search for notifications
Go to the specific app and turn off Badges
My normal routine is that turn them all off, then go back and turn on the specific ones I want. But it turn off the badges for virtually all of them.
- sixothree 7y agoHaving a home page free of little red circles changes how you look at your device. It is freeing and a breath of fresh air. It is amazing what a psychological impact these red badges have over us.
- inlined 7y agoI recently turned off all notifications. Messaging apps can still have badges. As a former developer for a notification sending product I feel stunned at how much I’m preferring this setup.
- wincy 7y agoJust removing my email from the home page so I have to go to a web interface instead has made me far less neurotic about checking it. Before I’d check hourly, now I check it a couple times a week. And nothing bad has happened because of it.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoThanks, I wasn’t aware that’s what a badge was!
