Hi apphound84,

Great question! You can absolutely stop random app notifications without needing to uninstall the app. Here’s a simple way to do this on most Android phones:

  1. Open Settings on your device.
  2. Tap on “Apps” or “Apps & notifications.”
  3. Select the app you want to silence.
  4. Tap on “Notifications.”
  5. You’ll now see options to turn off all notifications or just certain types (like promotional or reminder notifications). Toggle off the ones you don’t want.

If you get a notification you’d like to block, you can also press and hold on it when it pops up. This will usually bring up a shortcut to change that app’s notification settings right away.

You’ll still be able to use the app—you just won’t get unwanted alerts. If you ever need notifications back, simply follow the same steps and turn them on again.

Let me know if you’re using a specific phone model or Android version, and I can give you more tailored steps!

Hope this helps,
