what the fuck makes phone apps so cocky as to send me notifications telling me to use it. my grocery list app straight up went “you havent made a list in a while!” are you out of your fucking mind. you are a program. why are you speaking to me like youre my equal. i could replace you with a pen and the back of a receipt. idiot. i kill you now

    What sort of apps would need real-time running if not to send notifications? Like logging software?

      Playing music, viewing weather forecast at a glance, fitness tracking, that kind of stuff

        But all of them are examples of apps needing to run in the background specifically to send notifications…

        What apps need to run in the background for other reasons than to send notifications?
