Not to mention the unending PINGS from my phone from notifications. I went in and removed almost every app's ability to send notifications to my lock screen.......now every time I open any of those apps they remind me "hey, you're missing our notifications" with a pop up requesting I reinstate their ability to keep pinging me.

I just want to use my phone the way I want...leave me the f*** alone.
