I just unsubscribed from Marvel Unlimited (and deleted the app) because they don't provide any mechanism for disabling marketing notifications ("Here's an issue of something you've never read!") vs. functional notifications ("Here's an issue of something you've starred!") vs. transactional notifications ("Your subscription is coming up for renewal!"). I understand that, for some people, new issue notifications are a plus, but not giving us a chance to filter out that noise is abusive. It's my phone not your billboard. Anyway, thanks to this thread I went back and checked my notifications settings and a surprising number of them were set not only to allow immediate notifications, but also to "announce" their notifications. Turned all those off.
- closetohome 4y agoI've uninstalled a number of apps for doing that. Once they start mixing spam with relevant notifications -- especially if it's an app that depends on relevant notifications -- I'm out.
- r2_pilot 4y agoSometimes you can't uninstall apps, like Samsung's junk and Bixby notifications that I have exactly negative-infinity use for. I recently discovered an app called Buzzkill[Android] that lets you manage notifications EXTREMELY GRANULARLY and how to (automatically) respond to them, such as dismiss them sight-unseen or perform another action. It is a paid app but cheap, does what it says on the tin, and has been a personal QoL upgrade.
