    That’s the problem. Literally every app comes with notifications enabled by default. You need to explicitly customise the notifications in the app or via the phone’s settings.

    If we had a mode that blocked notifications by default like web browsers do, you’ll inevitably get “you must enable notifications before you can continue to use this app”!
