- iCloud
Your phone has not been backed up for 476 days. Memo to Apple: Please stop trying to make me pay for more iCloud storage space. If I haven’t paid for the past 476 days, isn’t it time to stop reminding me?

A grade has been posted. Eek.

Why is it that a funny lil’ bird telling me it’s going to stop sending me notifications suddenly makes me want to fulfill my daily lessons? Or why do I despair when I lose a login streak?
- Apple Journal
I could have sworn locational services are off.
- Discord and Instagram
When you are expecting a message from your crush but all you receive is your homie sending you questionable GIFs and brain-rot reels.
I think that it’s a blessing to have loving grandparents who send me messages about wearing more clothes and drinking more water, but I’m ashamed that I don’t respond to half of them.
- iMessages
Hey, an actual useful notification! I love these since I don’t actually have to open my phone to read the message sent to me, and then I shall decide whether to immediately open my phone to respond or to ghost them until the next time I remember.
- Apple Calendar
I am a very forgetful person, and having an app that will remind me or ring for me telling me that I have 5 upcoming events that I completely forgot about is sure to raise my blood pressure. The only flaw with it is that if your account is tied to a family, any of your parents’ added events will notify you too.
- Phone calls
My phone is always silenced during school, and I forget to unsilence it after school is finished, meaning that I always feel guilty opening my phone and seeing: “Missed call — 5 hours ago.”
- Brawl Stars
HEIST is available! Time to brawl! Isn’t it scary that I pay more attention to video game notifications than Canvas notifications?
