thats the push i need to disable whatsapp notifications.
if only the literal state, and corporations didnt fucking force me to use it.
Same here, not yet at the point where I can convince all my colleagues to switch over. Why disable notifications in particular?
so i dont get annoyed by ads, while still being able to use it when i need to.
whatsapp has become ingrained in my country’s culture. it would take a lot of scrubbing.
I see. I’m notorious among colleagues for going the extra mile and putting Whatsapp on a separate phone, which I only check on a routine. Hoping that there’s a category of notifications can be disabled for ads, but no big loss if the notifications should be shut off altogether.
it seems they are adding them to the stories functionality, which won’t impact my use of it
but yeah, i’m thinking i can be the guy who notoriously only responds quickly to not-whatsapp messages.
Privacy is never single player, so we must get good at spreading our ideas to those around us.
