After digging into the Settings menu, you want to
change the in-app settings for those apps on which you
left notifications enabled. Go into apps where you do
need notifications, and limit the sorts of things you get
them for. You’ll have to do this in each app’s settings,
and every app is different. Take Twitter, for example: you
may want to leave notifications enabled only for Direct
Messages. (You don’t really need a notification popping
up to tell you that someone retweeted you, do you?)
Even if you don’t feel like your notifications are
a problem, you’ll be surprised how much more you
enjoy using your phone when you only see a fraction
of the notifications.Set up a password manager
and two-factor authentication
The most common password in 2019 was ‘123456’.
The second most popular was ‘123456789’ followed
by ‘qwerty’ and ‘password’.You should definitely have 2FA
enabled on your Apple ID, and
other important accounts, tooAfterdiggingintotheSettingsmenu,youwantto
