Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for performing context-based delayed notification of messages are disclosed. Context-based delayed notification of messages can include delaying notification of incoming messages received or generated by a user device to a user of the device until a determination is made that the messages satisfy message delivery criteria. Contextual data such as location data, time data, device usage data, or the like can be used to determine whether the message delivery criteria are satisfied. Messages received by a user device from one or more senders can be categorized into one or more message categories based on message categorization criteria. Individual messages or groups of messages within a message category can be evaluated against the message delivery criteria using the contextual data to determine whether notification of the messages to a user should be delayed or allowed to proceed.
