The notification was easy sufficient from the Books app on my iPhone: “In the present day’s studying objective achieved. Congratulations, you’ve reached your every day studying objective.” A giant blue checkmark accompanied it. The one drawback? I had by no means set a studying objective.
We get sufficient strain from reminders, alarms, timers, calendar occasions, and different popups and notifications in our lives that another may push us over the sting. For me, this studying objective was it: I definitely didn’t want any assist monitoring my private studying.
That’s one notification in my life I don’t want.

The objective isn’t set inside a e book or the Books app, in fact. Go to Settings > Books in iOS/iPadOS and disable Studying Targets close to the underside. The label says, “Present time spent studying and different achievements in Apple Books.” In macOS go to Books > Settings/Preferences > Normal and uncheck Allow Studying Targets.
I don’t know what these different achievements is perhaps, and I do know it’s helpful for some folks to create targets and get constructive suggestions for assembly them. Should you’re like me, nonetheless, you may stifle this extra element, one I don’t recall ever being prompted about or turning.
