Aren’t messages the only point of LinkedIn? You create a profile which is basically your CV, set it to “looking for work”, and wait for recruiters to message you, right?
I’ve switched off the “looking for work” after the n-th recruiter who hadn’t even bothered reading my profile. I was under the impression that LinkedIn should also work as a social network for people to “word of mouth” recommend each other, or openings at wherever they work, but all I got was “coach” and “courses” type spam.
For me, apps do not get to notify me unless it’s time sensitive.
The problem is when my food delivery app, or LinkedIn sends me ads when I just want messages.
It’s annoying to not be able to only receive messages.
Apps get a one strike rule. The minute I get a notification I don’t want, that app doesn’t get to send me notifications anymore
I use Tasker to filter out notifications
Buzzkill is another good one.
LinkedIn has messages? Maybe I don’t use it much, but it seemed like it had ads, and self-promoting messages, or more ads.

That is the trouble with relying on recruiters, there’s essentially no bar to entry so the industry is flooded with talentless chancers
Out of my 10000 notifications I ignore, there’s one message… and that’s from the LinkedIn team.
Yeah, I needed to have it on for a week for work stuff. And it kept giving me random notifications about news and stuff. I couldn’t figure it out.
