My phone vibrates.
Is it an urgent message from work? A delivery arriving today? A family member who needs help?
No. It is another “Good morning” image forwarded to a group.
Five minutes later, the phone vibrates again. This time, it is a payment warning but is it genuine, or is somebody trying to steal an OTP?
Most of us receive very different kinds of messages through the same notification sound. A school update, a flash sale, a voice note, a society notice, a scam link, and a message saying “Call me urgently” all compete for the same thing: our attention.
