Good way to get your notification privileges revoked though. I wish Apple would add granular notification categories within apps so that you could approve particular types of notifications while denying others. A quick google says Android 8 did this in 2017.
Apple's policy on this is to require in-app configuration to opt out of marketing messages, rather than a way to configure it through the OS.
- RandallBrown 5y agoApple is adding something like what you want in iOS 15. https://openback.com/blog/wwdc-2021-ios-15-push-notification/ https://openback.com/blog/wwdc-2021-ios-15-push-notification...
- wlesieutre 5y agoSort of like what I want, but relies of developers to decide what is passive/active/time-sensitive/critical, and instead of being able to fix it the only recourse is to say "no notifications." I do see what Apple is going for, in that these predefined categories let you automate notification handling with Focus modes, but I have a feeling a lot of apps will have an inflated opinion of how important "new episodes of ____ are available" is to me.
- pseudalopex 5y agoMany apps send marketing notifications anyway. And there seems to be no way to report it.
- wlesieutre 5y agoNot sure what you mean by "send marketing notifications anyway," since they are allowed to do that now. Are you saying they do it after you opt-out of the marketing notifications in-app?
- pseudalopex 5y agoYes.
- radley 5y agoEssentially, Apple blocked it until they needed it to promote their services in more channels.
