I'm of limited knowledge on this matter. On my Android I've discovered "settings" listing Apps, then usually there's "uninstall" or "disabled" that relieves my concern. Shutting off permissions/notifications/etc seems to have limited unwelcome intrusion of such as well.

Good luck.

If you scroll down does it show an edit button?

If you are receiving messages from a service you may have to login to the websight of the service and discontinue or unsubscribe the phone number in question. You can also try responding to the messages with the word 'stop'. The third alternative is to block incoming messages while reporting them as spam.

Are you talking about the notifications if you hit the power button to check the time? I hate that. Go to Settings, Application Manager. You have to turn them off app by app. Damn things tend to get turned back on if you are forced to install an update as well.

Please define what you mean by 'feeds'. It's not clear what you are referring to in the OP.

I was wondering WTF he was talking about, too. "News" feeds from a "news" app or apps, mebbe?

But that did remind me: Just went in and turned off notifications for "News" and removed the "News" widget.

I am unfamiliar with iPhone settings but with an Android, go into "settings", go to "apps", select the app you want and disable "notifications".
You may be able to uninstall or disable the whole app also depending on what you want to do.

Essentially the same on iThings.

Thank you guys for the information. So yes I went into my apps and it was the Google Chrome that was causing me the problems. I disabled the notifications on it and now I don't get the website that was linked to it every time I activated my phone. Thank you
