Headspace notification settings lack granularity

💚 healthproduct problemSingle report ●●●●● severity 2/5

A Headspace user reports that the app's notification settings are binary, forcing them to receive unwanted promotional or health check notifications if they want to keep their meditation reminders enabled.

Who's affected: A Headspace app user who wants meditation reminders but not other app notifications.

⚠️ Single report. This is one person's account. We mark it so until more voices confirm it.

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

Implement a granular notification settings menu within the app allowing users to toggle specific categories like 'meditation reminders' versus 'promotional content'.
Create a 'focus mode' setting that suppresses all non-essential app alerts while maintaining scheduled meditation reminders.
Develop a notification preference center that allows users to opt-in or opt-out of specific notification types during the onboarding process.
