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

A granular notification settings menu allowing users to toggle specific types of alerts (marketing vs. functional).
A 'quiet mode' feature that suppresses non-essential update notifications during specific hours.
A design update that differentiates system notifications from personal text messages to reduce user annoyance.

“The new Update notice, like a text message notice is very annoying. Mot appropriate for an app like Zillow in my opinion.”
