So you're annoyed by a few dozen apps you've installed sending notifications that "clutter your screen", and the solution is to allow the thousands of sites you visit do the same.
Okay.
- fauigerzigerk 5y agoNo, you don't understand. What annoys me is that Apple has created an additional incentive for companies to clutter my screen with useless apps that wouldn't have any reason to be apps if it wasn't for push notifications. These "apps" should never be allowed in the app store. They should be websites that get to ask me exactly once whether I want to receive their notifications. Instead they keep pushing and nagging me to install their apps and Apple's policies are encouraging this behaviour. In some cases, the notifications are useful, but there is no other reason for them to be apps installed on my device.
- slver 5y agoApps do also ask you exactly once if you want notifications. And you don't have to install any apps. Use the sites if it's the same for you.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoBut they'll nag you forever to install their app if you use the website. Like Reddit's constant stream of dark pattern pop-ups and ads for their app.
- fauigerzigerk 5y agoI want some sites to send me notifications just like I want some apps to send me notifications. I don't want websites to turn themselves into otherwise useless apps just to be able to send me notifications.
