I don't understand how it's acceptable for apps like Uber or DoorDash to deliver to me an unprompted ad, pushed into my notifications center. It's always something like "10% off your order for the next day!" or "Try this new pass thing!".
Firstly, that's a guaranteed way for me to disable all notifications from the app, if not uninstall it. Secondly, how is that not a violation of some sort of Apple Developer Guideline? I wish they'd crack down on that sort of thing.
- aendruk 4y agoAbsolutely unacceptable. Apps that abuse notifications to run ads get a one-star review and uninstalled. Lyft, Gig, Lime, Instagram, Migraine Buddy—dead to me. And simply revoking permissions isn’t a solution; the core problem is that the app would even try to abuse its privileges. Imagine being content with someone trying to come though your door just because you’ve turned the deadbolt. Their behavior is still unacceptable.
