Bumble is really similar and disgusting. By default, notifications are enabled for both messages (which are a pretty good thing to have notifications turned on for) and once or twice a day Peak Cringe marketing push notifications. They have the ability to turn off specific kinds of notifications, but one of the categories is "The Good Stuff: Turning these off means you'll miss out on our most exciting pushes of all!" and I'm not unconvinced that this is actually their daily CTAs to get you back into the app, because none of the other categories cover those.
- 93po 3y agoTinder gets around this by sending fake "You have a new like" or "You have a new match" message nearly daily. You open the app and have neither. I turned off all notifications except new messages to get rid of this.
- 3seashells 3y agoTime to update the app and reclassify notifications, thus loose all your settings on a weekly basis.
- 93po 3y agoThankfully only experienced this once that I can recall with Tinder
- hahamrfunnyguy 3y agoWell, you can turn everything off except messages so I don't see it as that big of a deal. I don't install many apps on my phone so going into the app settings and turning off notifications isn't a big deal.

- underyx 3y agoAnother disgusting thing they do is push promo notifications with the title “1 new match?” where the question mark is the only difference from an actual app notification.
- squeaky-clean 3y agoInstagram for me. I don't use it much but have a few friends who message through it, or at least send some memes. If I enable notifications for that, I get daily notifications that someone I might know has joined Instagram, someone I know posted to their story... It's about 1:4 real notifications vs "Please spend more time on our app"
- nathancahill 3y agoIG (and FB) at least have decent fine-tuning controls.
- offices 3y agoUnfortunately, they ignore them. Threads spams you with these notifications regardless of what you turn off.
- omgmajk 3y agoAs soon as I get to a point where I would normally get zero notifications from FB/IG, they invent a new way to give me a notification. Always. Usually it's something like "Group x has a new post, click to read it now!" where X is a group I haven't visited in years and would never give me a notification before. So I click "Only get notifications for friends posts in this group" and then it happens again with one-three other random groups the next week. It's all about trying to get the user to spend the most amount of time in the app.
- baz00 3y agoI just turn all notifications off on Bumble. After talking about it on dates, it turns out nearly everyone does it anyway.
