Abstract
As smartphone notifications increase, so does the effort required to handle them effectively. Previous research has proposed various notification management features, but empirical evidence regarding their efficacy remains sparse. In response, we developed a notification management application incorporating features derived from prior studies, including both automatic and manual sorting, categorization, and manual pinning. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we explored how users interact with these features in their daily routines, with the aim to identify the underlying needs driving their usage. The results indicate that pinning was the most valued feature, serving diverse purposes such as deferring notifications, ensuring quick and constant access to information, preventing accidental deletions, and providing visual reminders. Conversely, manual categorization was underutilized, with participants relying on automated categories for notification access. Moreover, participants expressed a desire for automatic features to process and organize notifications based on topic and personalize them through user input. They also expected automatic sorting to adapt more dynamically to user contexts.

Automatic, Manual, or Hybrid? A Preliminary Investigation of Users' Perception of Features for Supporting Notification Management
UbiComp/ISWC '23 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 2023 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing & the 2023 ACM International Symposium on Wearable ComputingMobile notifications, crucial to our daily activities and informational needs, are often undermined by insufficient management features. Previous research has suggested enhancements like automatic sorting, filtering, and categorization, but empirical ...
An Experience Sampling Study to Evaluate Why Users Dismiss Smartphone Notifications
MobileHCI '22: Adjunct Publication of the 24th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesSmartphone users receive many notifications and frequently deactivate notifications from various application categories. To develop more intelligent notification systems in the future, knowledge of why users dismiss notifications is essential. ...
Snooze!: investigating the user-defined deferral of mobile notifications
MobileHCI '18: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesNotifications on mobile devices are a prominent source of interruptions. Previous work suggests using opportune moments to deliver notifications to reduce negative effects. In this paper, we instead explore the manual deferral of notifications. We ...
