If you have a mobile with Android and, logically, you are subscribed to most Google services, it is very likely that day after another you receive notifications to bore In the case From Google Maps, for example, you can receive notifications to leave opinions about places you have visited. It also asks if you have been in one place or another, with the aim of helping Google improve the tracking system of the tool.
With YouTube more of the same. It is very common to receive notifications on the phone about the insertion of new videos in channels that you follow or announcements about new tools. And so, one by one, with all the services that Google makes available to us for free. If you are one of those who have a thousand and one unopened WhatsApp messages and you don't feel any discomfort, it may seem like it's no big deal.
