Abstract

The average smartphone user handles multiple app notifications a day. Apart from the potential valuable information these notifications carry, they can often be disrupting and annoying. To an extreme end, this can lead to information overload and result in technostress. On Apple's iOS, apps need to request permission to send notifications. However, this request is rather nondescript, i.e. it doesn't tell the user about the nature or frequency of notifications. In this paper we present a concept for empowering users to make informed choices on whether to accept or deny push notification requests.
