Do not know how many times I've been driving down the road peacefully listening to an audiobook when my family or friends start a conversation in a group chat that pings every 3 to 10 seconds with new replies or notifications that someone "loved" a comment or some shit.

My phone: "The truth was evident all along. In fact, the killer was..." PING ... "evident all along..." PING... "evident all along. In fact,..." PING... "evident all along. In fact, the killer was right under..." PING...

Me: "For the love of God, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Phone: PING

What would your ideal fix be? “Mute for one hour“, a prompt to pause notifications just for that chat until no sooner than audio is paused…?

Also would putting your phone on silent work? Maybe a “driving” focus mode if you’re on iOS where you allowlist only certain conversations…

([iOS] Nope can’t do that, maybe silent mode or muting that conversation it is… the latter of which can not be done with a shortcut!)

Room for improvement!

There was a feature I had on android several years ago where you could limit notification sounds by time. You could pick from 1 to like 10 minutes. The first one would ping you and the rest for that timeframe would be silent notifications until the timeframe ended and treated the next one like normal.

Edit: still a feature on the texting app I use, Textra. I like their features so much I paid for it and keep reverting back when trying stock or anything else. I'm sure there's some big flaw I don't know about since it's an old SMS app though.
