By default, after your org enables Approvals in Chatter, you’re notified about approval requests by email and a Chatter post. To stop seeing the Chatter posts, opt out. If you do opt out, the posts don’t appear in your feed but they do appear in the associated record’s feed.

Important Try Flow Approval Processes, a modern alternative to Classic Approval Processes. This
new feature provides a more flexible, user-friendly flow-based interface, and it can trigger
on record changes, supporting Apex extensibility and detailed logging for compliance and
audit trails. It supports dynamic routing based on data and business rules, unlike Classic
Approval Processes, which are tied to specific objects and offer limited support for
processes by using conditions. With Flow Approval Processes, you can monitor submitted
records and quickly identify bottlenecks, giving you unprecedented visibility into approval
workflows. And, like Classic Approval Processes, Flow Approval Processes don’t consume
automation credits or orchestration runs.
