Instagram I had to disable from notifications entirely, so now I miss messages from friends frequently, because the app bombards you with so much unrelated junk.
I suspect these companies know this, they know we don’t want spurious notifications, but they abuse whatever notification policies the OS provides in order to deliver you them anyways.
- matt-attack 3y agoI use Uber all the time and having notifications disabled is fine.
- neilparikh 3y agoFor Uber and UberEats, turns out you actually can disable marketing notifications, under the communication settings, it's just hidden away.
- bravetraveler 3y agoFunny, I had turned off notifications for UberEats exactly due to this. You can't actually manage these notifications until re-opening the door, re-enabling them. There are currently six categories in here. Who wants to take bets until these shift, nullifying the point?
- PopePompus 3y agoYes, and websites know that we don't want video advertisements playing everywhere on the screen, but it doesn't matter because we're the product, not the customer.
