Welcome! This is a community for all those who are interested in protecting their privacy.

PS: Don't be a smartass and try to game the system, we'll know if you're breaking the rules when we see it!

Be civil and no prejudice
Don't promote big-tech software
No apathy and defeatism for privacy (i.e. "They already have my data, why bother?")
No reposting of news that was already posted
No crypto, blockchain, NFTs
No Xitter links (if absolutely necessary, use xcancel)

Some of these are only vaguely related, but great communities.

Why are old notifications saved at all?

And if they are saved, why can't I look at them?

They're not saved for you. They're saved for the purposes of those who use your data for profit.

you just need to turn off message previews in notifications then… and disable siri

Doubt doing that has any effect on the database, it just hides the preview on a locked phone.
