One of the first things that gets turned off.
Ad tracking of any kind.
AI of any kind.
Notifications for almost everything.
Any other metrics or telemetry that can be disabled without impacting functionality.

Absolutely, notifications are so annoying. Phone and texts are all I want to make a sound. Everything else can wait for me to interact

I have notifications for when there is an Aurora Borealis outside, but that seldom happens…

Supposedly the new Samsung “OneUI 8” upgrade tries to streamline notifications and make them less annoying or attention grabbing. I just upgraded so I’m curious what it’ll be like but according to articles the entire goal of version 8 was to make the device less noisy to the user in general.

I unfortunately have a samsung and their last update for notifications sucked, it split the quick actions and notifications into two divided pull downs.
I dislike the company but that is a good idea.

I agree… that was the last update I did too and I like the split pulldown. That was before the 8.0 update, I haven’t noticed anything majorly different with 8.0 so far though.
