You
must have received unsolicited notifications from emails, calls, text
messages, Facebook and tweets. These notifications are irrelevant to
you but you will still receive them. Your phone beeps every second due
to these. This can be frustrating. If you are tired of this, jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 hotel booking portal shares 4 ways to help you overcome this notification menace.
Turn off notification
This
is perhaps the first thing you should do when you repeatedly receive
notifications. For example, when you leave a comment on a Facebook post,
all other comments will be sent to you. If the post garners thousands
of responses, you will receive all of them. It is either you do not
comment or you comment and turn off notifications for that particular
post.
Use Truecaller
If
your service provider ‘disturbs’ you with unrequested calls, it is time
for you to download Truecaller. The function of Truecaller is to block
spam calls. You can add the number to the spam list of the Truecaller
app. You will observe that when next the same number phones you, the app
will block the number. Same with Truemessenger. You can download these
apps on Google play store!
Create a VIP list
You
can create a VIP list of people that can call you especially during
emergencies. This will automatically block any spam call or text.
Hence, you know that any calls or notifications that you receive are
important.
Do not add anybody to your social media accounts
If
you do not want to be irritated by notifications, do not just accept
all invitations to join a group. If you do, you may be opening the
floodgate of notifications. If a person adds you to a list or group on
Facebook or twitter, simply leave the group if you are not interested.
