I've been looking at moving to iOS, but need a functional notification system as well. I get the impression that most iPhone users use their phones for gaming and play, rather than productivity. Otherwise, there is no way they would tolerate this, right?

Lol having used both OSs extensively it’s definitely better on Android but iOS notifications aren’t so bad.

I’ve never missed an important notification. In fact Gmail was worse on Android for delayed notifications, it’s instant on iOS. Even work notifications from apps like Slack/Asana/Trello are fine. Never missed one.

It’s just about getting used to checking the Notification Center vs having the little icon on the status bar in Android.

Maybe others have bad experiences but I’ve not had an issue. I do also disable notifications for non essential apps to limit clutter, but I did that on Android too. I don’t need Hulu telling me a new show has released etc.

Meh. I don’t know anything else.

My work emails and Teams are also on my phone and it works.

But I admit it could be better.
