I’ve found that “do not disturb” + allowing all contacts trough is actually quote nice.
If I turn it off I get spam like “your google drive storage is running out” (has been for the last 2 years), “automatic payment for the subscription you’ve had for 5 years went through”, “would you like to rate my app on Google play?”, blah blah blah
ye you can turn them off individually, but I’ve not missed anything important in a year since my phone has been on “do not disturb” all the time
I’m using an aged chinaphone (Xiaomi Redmi4x) and their UI comes with a pre-installed app called “Info Assistent”. I fucking hate that thing. I fucking hate it. It constantly spams me with shit like current weather, tomorrow’s weather, useless soccer results that I don’t care about, the literal content of the waste bin, cache data… It spams about 5 times a day. I cannot revoke its rights, I cannot uninstall it, I cannot shut it down. The suckage is forced on me, why?
I’ve heard about this thing in Chinese culture where people value the ability to replace their phone cheaply and easily over personalizing their thing to suit them, and hanging on to things.
Considering this phone is Chinese, I’m guessing this might be one reason why?
Run the xiaomi.eu ROMs (or lineage if you don’t like miui at all) or use one of the various debloat scripts over ADB.
Take a look over on XDA, Xiaomi phones are incredibly well supported by the modding/custom rom community.

You mean App vault? I have the same model. After disabling notifications of it, it only bothers me on the homescreen.

Ow I might try that one out
I’ll give that a try, thanks!
What about when you need to actually use do not disturb? I have it on at night to stop my phone buzzing when my idiot morning friends message me
It still works, you can edit the settings. But if you want one ez pz button for silence and still have your alarm work, I suggest airplane mode
