Notification channels is legitimately top 3 features I missed going from Android to iOS as my daily driver. Rideshare apps (Lyft, Uber) are by far the worst offenders, with Amazon coming in a close third. I want notifications when I need to go downstairs and when I can expect service to be delivered, I do not need a notification for 10% off some aspect of the app I’ve never used and will now never use as a result.
It’s wild that I cannot opt out of these forced ads without fundamentally crippling the app itself.

- bbor 3y agoI’m not sure about Uber proper, but Uber eats and DoorDash actually DO let you disable the advertising notifications :) I was so happy when I found that. In Uber eats it’s Account > Privacy > Notifications
