A phone’s push notifications can contain a significant amount of information about you, your communications, and what you do throughout the day. And there are myriad ways that law enforcement can access the content or metadata of push notifications. Let’s fix that.

        same, and its even worse when it completely breaks you out of hyperfocus, which is why I especially dislike Discord’s notification sound.
