Title
Smartphone Notifications: A Study on the Sound to Soundless Tendency
Abstract
Notifications are the mechanism that mobile applications utilize to let users know that a new message, email, call or similar has been received. Notifications may make a sound, a vibration or modify the app icon in some way. They may make us stop what we are doing, thus interrupting us and having a negative effect on our work. Before defining a cause-effect relation between notifications and their impact on the users' current tasks, first we have to study how users manage notifications. This paper describes the results of a survey on how users react when they receive a notification. The results of this descriptive research show how people are moving from sound to visual notifications, which reflects the ability of people to adapt to new technologies.
