First of all, group your categories
controls are exhausting.
There are now too many things under options in almost all day to day apps you use.
The best way to make it more accessible is to group the categories.
give a shot to keep your number of categories to a minimum and keep them generic.
When getting started, refer to your competitors or other apps before you group the categories.
Consider this scenario: The user only wants to turn on a certain notification setting.
Imagine having the categoryAboutwhich has nothing but the version number and the details of the developer at the top.
Lets be honest nobody cares.
The number of times the user logs out or deletes their data is going to be minimal.
Are your essential items at the top of the page?
If put to good use, this top section can help increase your overall revenue.
you’re free to have a plan upgrade option there or display the holiday offer running for example.
Why not add in integrations and promotions?
WhatsApp also has Tell a friend which is a nice addition.
you’ve got the option to try putting these in a separate category as well.
Screen time?
You wouldve seen Instagram having this to show/pretend as if they care about the users.
You could do that too but in a good way.
The better you are to your users, the better this will be for your business.
