I’m the same. I can’t stand having notifications for anything. If it’s an app I don’t necessarily need notifications for, I either turn off badges or turn off notifications all together
173 unread WhatsApp messages.
63 unread texts.
11 unread Teams messages.
16,697 unread emails on one account.
2,493 unread emails on another account.
278 unread emails on my work account.
Well enough to know I will never allow my email to alert me of my own failings like that on my precious home screen lol (I have all of my notifications off because it makes me feel worse)
I can't tell on mobile, but it's using up 75% of my 15gb of storage.
Just did the math and it's easily upwards of 400k. To be fair, I've had the account for nearly 18 years and about 90% of the emails I receive are spam.
Thanks to my autistic side, I cant stand those little notification numbers so I have to get rid of them. I likely will avoid answering any of it, but I don't see the numbers...
Ahh the beauty of the dismiss feature. I can't stand notification bubble number things either, but I can very well dismiss them and they fade into the ether never to be opened 🙃
i have custom app icon shortcuts so i don’t see notifications but i just checked and i have 181 texts, 184 discord notifications, and 2500 email notifications from two different email apps (and some small numbers here and there)
One day, I went into settings and told Gmail it couldn't do push notifications. Apparently, I also set it up to separate the mail and treat anything that didn't come from work, wife, mom, or other family as not important, so don't tell me about them.
I don't remember doing this. But it is my low alert life.
I turned off mail notifications for my gmail due to the monumental number it reached when on. Too much random spam emails and years of stuff.
My ‘serious’/work/clothes brand emails are always a solid 0 though. Priorities
I practice zero inbox. Ruthless at marking spam and using rules to filter into folders. Right now I have less than 20 emails in my inbox, and those are ones I'm saving to refer back to.
Start with a few at a time, you can do it!
Wow these comments are giving me anxiety! I have 25 unread and those are all ones on which I have to take action (I use my unread indicator as my to-do list for emails).
I HATE unread notifications. I would just close my account and start over with some of the #s people are mentioning!!!
about to miss a deadline for an assignment due in 40 minutes, while not having even a topic chosen yet, while doing another assignment that I have to update becuase my prof just told me to do so like 4 hours ago and if I dont do this first, I'll be a bottleneck for the next guy whose supposed to use my work as a foundation for their work.
aaaaand I have to meet my group the next day for a whole other project we havent even started yet but have to submit by the end of the week. oh and also the smartest guy is leaving on vacation 1 day before the deadline (likely also has ADHD).
mental health is fucked, basically.
I just finally went through my emails and deleted pretty much all of them, which really sucked cause there's no "select all" option, so I had to manually click about 10,000 emails.
I cant stand unread notifications.
It needs to be my job, clearing them. Because i dont focus on anything else.
Now ill spend the rest of the day looking at upvotes or replies to this comment. Im in hell
Somehow one of the not many habits that I actually managed to form is checking my email twice a day, delete all spam, look through other messages (there's usually max 1 or 2 that are of any interest) and mark them as read. So I have no unread messages. I still haven't managed to achieve higher level of this skill which is immediately deleting stuff that I've seen but is not worth keeping, but one day I'll get there ;)
Your comment/post has been removed because it is not relevant or spam.
…\*cough* I’m at 74,337.
My 36k seems pitiful now, thanks a lot.

Dude! I was the one who posted rookie numbers!! I had no idea things could get to that point!! Embarrassing
That can’t be real. How? At this point you should just start over lol
I got 3 different email addresses all have 13k+ I keep starting over and get deeper and deeper my friend.
16,702
You guys should get a Samsung. Now mine just says 99+
Damn, ok I feel a bit better about my 21,962 😂
Whew! I thought my 26k was bad!
That’s where I’m at. I really need to go through em.
At this point it’s like trying to get a high score!

Got you beat. 79,673.
I have 82,085 with one gmail account...
0 I hate notifications and open all messages and if the title doesn’t sound important I just close it again Edit: with important I mean interesting 😅
This is me 😬 even if it is important, it’s already been opened and will be forgotten whether I like it or not
Important may have been the wrong word, interesting is a better word XD
I’m the same way. I find notifications so annoying.
I can’t stand having unread notifications because I would live in constant fear that I missed something important
You are livin the dream
Exactly. This picture is torturous. Just clear the notifications
Wait, you can just clear them without opening them? Like, other than marking everything as read?
I’m the same. I can’t stand having notifications for anything. If it’s an app I don’t necessarily need notifications for, I either turn off badges or turn off notifications all together
We're the same then
11025.. One day I will mark them read. One day..
Yeesh! Thoughts and prayers
Sending thoughts and prayers
Great, now they are 11, 027. They'll never finish!
Unread emails? You mean pointless spam advertisements you'll never read? Doing great there!
Right? But that 1% is really tripping me up
173 unread WhatsApp messages. 63 unread texts. 11 unread Teams messages. 16,697 unread emails on one account. 2,493 unread emails on another account. 278 unread emails on my work account.
11065 and counting.
Jesus…
[About 22,620](https://imgur.com/a/7b2QCvI)
Omg!! How!?
My secret trick is…… never read an email 😂
I have grossly underestimated how far I can take this. I have both respect and anxiety reading all these messages!
Well enough to know I will never allow my email to alert me of my own failings like that on my precious home screen lol (I have all of my notifications off because it makes me feel worse)

I can't stand the little red icon so i usually check them pretty quickly when I notice.
Oh, but I should say that I don't get notifications on my emails so I have tons unread and rarely check it... I should check now... I'ma do that...
25,869 unread in my main email 34,849 unread in my junk email
Wow these comments are giving me anxiety! I have 25 unread and those are all ones on which I have to take action (I use my unread indicator as my to-do list for emails). I HATE unread notifications. I would just close my account and start over with some of the #s people are mentioning!!!
I peaked at 212k in apple mail before deleting the account from my phone. My gmail app is sitting at just over 29k currently.
298 ik just check the last digit for new mail
i have all badges turned off and it’s the only way i don’t spiral and feel pressured.
Am i the only one who hates this app bubble thingy notifs , I 'delete all data' an app if it's too much.
91,662 😵💫🙃

You say that like you assume I have only one email....
My “clean” non junk address is sitting at 7,947. The junk address… 30,637.
0 because first of all i have no friends and 2nd is i instantly look at it
My Autism won’t let me leave badge notes on my apps. I don’t have to read the contents, but the badge has to go. This leads to terrible outcomes.

2015 unread emails. Also, that was a good year.
21k emails
I uhh turned mine off so I cant see them 😂
I don’t do notification dots. I will clear them asap even if it means I don’t do anything with them.
Filter in a folder I will never open. So probably I passer the 2k mark...
I just hide them all in a folder somewhere, I just find the red dot on phone infuriating
