This is an extremely limited way of thinking.

Do you want WhatsApp to deliver a message to you from your mom or special one that they urgently need help? Or should they wait till you will want to check the app?

I can maybe see a prioty system for contacts.

Not sure how much it would help. My family is at least an hour away and I might not see the notification anyway.

That is a far cry from permitting it for all apps though.

You may disallow app access to notifications if you want to check it only on your schedule. But not having access to notifications hinderes main function of messaging apps - delivering messages to you.

It is frankly shocking to me how many people fail to understand that.

Yes, I do not want to have to disable them per app or even being asked if want to enable them.

They should use a phone call for urgent things.
