what the fuck makes phone apps so cocky as to send me notifications telling me to use it. my grocery list app straight up went "you havent made a list in a while!" are you out of your fucking mind. you are a program. why are you speaking to me like youre my equal. i could replace you with a pen and the back of a receipt. idiot. i kill you now
At that point why not just disallow it from running in the background?
Some apps still need to be able to do that to perform their function, but generally speaking yeah, you could
What sort of apps would need real-time running if not to send notifications? Like logging software?
Calendar programs that send notifications, chat applications where you want instant notifications, email clients, package delivery ones where you'd be notified about deliveries, mental wellbeing apps that remind you to do things or to complete a journal entry or log, etc.
But all of them are examples of apps needing to run in the background specifically to send notifications...
What apps need to run in the background for other reasons than to send notifications?
