An Introduction to Weather Notification Frequency on Android

Staying informed about weather conditions is crucial, especially when unexpected changes can impact your daily plans. Android devices offer various methods to receive weather notifications, but managing their frequency is essential to avoid notification fatigue.
Why Manage Weather Notification Frequency?
Receiving too many notifications can lead to annoyance and prompt users to disable them altogether. Studies indicate that sending 2–5 notifications per week is optimal for user engagement; exceeding this can increase uninstalls. (midrocket.com)
