I use Glasswire (Android) and block apps from accesing the internet, when not using them (e.g. Uber).

It's a bit of pain to turn it on before use, and off again afterwards, but I've realized it's much less stressful than having notifications popping up at all times.

YMMV

As someone who hasn’t used android in 10 years, what you are describing seems like a warzone

Depends what apps you use and notification settings, ie I don't have any uber app and my notifications are clean, just what I need.

That wouldn't stop iOS notifications; those are pushed from Uber's servers to the phone, not to the app.

Appears to be unmaintained. Not available for newer. Android versions. Any alternatives people tried and recommend?
