On ios every app has to ask permission before the first notification, so you will not get the spammy ones in the first place.
I agree with your point that android is making management much easier though.

- jclardy 7y agoThey can, but I’ve literally never seen this used in practice as an iOS dev that is regularly trying out all the latest apps. These notifications go straight into Notification Center, which means if you never swipe down to look at notifications, you’ll never even see them (They don’t show a banner, or even on the lock screen.) That limits their value to the marketing people looking to juice their engagement numbers with spam push notifications.
