I wish iOS had some "allow notifications from this app for x minutes" option similar to "share location once".
Uber is a good example of an app I would like to see notifications from, when using their service, but disabled them completely.
Uber abuses this feature to show ad banners for scooters or food when I am not using their app and it's not even open (as in not present on the open applications list).
- gnicholas 4y agoUber is one of the worst. You can turn off all notifications unrelated to your existing rides. They hide this in the app under: Settings, Privacy, Notifications. Lyft has the same hidden structure.

- hackernewds 4y agoAndroid let's you disable notifications by category. Since users disable notifications completely, Uber is pretty good at categorizing notifications so you can turn them off. I still do like promotional offers so I have those redirected to email :)
- el-salvador 4y agoI've used Uber in several cities, so I get repetitive notifications targeting their different markets. Like irrelevant lunch discounts in other cities. They also have been sending me notifications for an Argentinan soccer-themed anti harassment campaign every couple of days. I went through their videos completely and the notification keeps showing. Its done in such a vertical video letterboxed in a horizontal video format that's hard to watch.
