Can we switch off those annoying notif... SAVED DOCUMENT WAS SAVED WITH THE FILENAME YOU GAVE IT WHEN SAVING SFTW

My computers do this too. Barely a quarter of an hour goes by without one or other alerting me to something irrelevant or unimportant. Don’t get me wrong: alarms and notifications have their role. I just wish they would learn their place.

Notifications have changed from being a targeted line of app-to-user communication into a free-for-all of trivial one-sided chatter. And there seems to be no way of switching it all off. I suspect some everyday apps are cheating too. A bland notification possibly won't get through Focus Assist, so they publish it as a critical"alert" as well. So while I am not interrupted by the notification, I still get an alert to tell me that I have received that notification – which rather spoils the whole point of Focus Assist.

And worse still, I hadn't realised that Siri was active in the background – not that I ever saw any notification to tell me this, mind – and every now and again while I was talking English to my students, it thought I had called out"Dis Siri!" in French and starting talking back to me.
