A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

And the ability to disable categories of notifications so that these "offers" can never pester me again is one of the greatest intentions of the digital age.

iOS needs this feature badly.

Moving from Android that’s one of the biggest things I miss

Why are you moving?

Not the user you asked however I moved from Android to iOS a few months ago. Before this, I have tended to switch between platforms because I’m incredibly picky. Perhaps I believe the grass is always greener.

Most recently, my young Pixel 8 Pro had severe modem problems. There was a rash of bad updates that impacted me. I felt insulted being unable to use my phone when I needed it. I looked at Samsung, but I don’t like their brand of bloatware. iOS inspired confidence.

I took the L and sold my Pixel at significant loss to get something working now to stay in contact with my family.

Edit: for everyone downvoting, I had some very legitimate reasons, but they are too personally identifiable when all put together and I’d rather not end up with my name tied to my account.
