I did the same thing on my iPhone several years ago and it’s been a game changer for me. I hate getting constant updates and news shoved at me when I don’t want any of it so I went in a changed the settings a few years ago and it’s helped my anxiety a ton. Did the same thing on my kindle fire tablet as well. Like no thank you, I’m using this tablet for entertainment, streaming, games and reading. I don’t need to be bombarded with horrible news stories every 5 seconds 🙄
