How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They don&#8217;t spam. They only send you notifications that are useful to you, and they don&#8217;t send you incessant notifications that would make you irritated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it: What do you do when your food ordering apps spam or send you continuous notifications? You simply uninstall them and start using an alternative food ordering App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an individual customer, you have the choice about which App you will install or uninstall on your phone. But if you are resident in a society using a free society management app, you probably don\u2019t have that choice. This is because the app has been mandated and implemented by your society\u2019s Management\/ Board\/ Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, when this mandated society app starts spamming you, its natural to feel incredibly irritated as well as helpless. Read till the end to know how you can tackle this!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dependency\"><\/span>2. <strong>Dependency&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A mandated society app, no matter how spammy is there to stay, unless your Society management switches to another app. Since everyone in your community uses this app, you also learn to depend on it as your \u201cOFFICIAL\u201d app. Be it for important announcements from the Building Management, regarding your property or Covid Restrictions and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a consumer, you shouldn\u2019t have to suffer through such chaos in the first place. As a Gated Community resident who has purchased a high-end apartment for peaceful life in a gated community, you should be able to voice out your concern when subjected to such helplessness. There\u2019s a solution for this too! Keep reading to take the right step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Data_Privacy_Concerns\"><\/span>3. <strong>Data Privacy Concerns<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lets be honest and face it: Almost every app on your phone asks for access to your contact list, location, voice etc. As if that isn\u2019t scary enough, advertising and marketing gimmicks on the internet compel you to fill entire surveys as part of the \u2018unskippable ads\u2019. Reports of data thefts, phishing, breach of data privacy aren\u2019t new in today\u2019s digital world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a user, you are in constant anxiety about the number of advertisers and spammers who have access to your personal details. How do you think free society management apps manage to send such personalized notifications, incessantly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alas! the unfortunate consequence of such spam is that the most important notifications and messages get lost. The purpose for which YOU and your Community decided to embrace the Society Management App is lost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where does this land you? Frustrated, helpless and knocking the doors of anyone who can pay heed to your frustration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_you_do\"><\/span>What can you do?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is a cloud with a silver lining after all. ADDA, a globally loved and trusted,&nbsp; <strong>No-Nonsense <\/strong>Community Management App is what you should be looking out for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>12 years<\/strong> of trust and track records serving <strong>500,000<\/strong> homes worldwide, ADDA simply does not partake in such nonsense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you are facing a bombardment of ads and notifications from your current society management app, <a href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/contact\">talk to us<\/a>.
