Yeah, Apple should properly write/enforce App Store rules on this. Make marketing notification a separate permission if necessary and be strict about it.
After all, topics like this are why we succumb to their curation and App Store monopoly instead of using more open devices.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoApple with its current incentives will never do this. I’m sure they know quite well which % of their services revenue comes from enticing push notifications from casino games. But with all that said, don’t kid yourself with any thoughts that the “we” in your sentence refers to anything more than a practically immaterially small contingent of nerds. Poll 100 people off the street and for the vast majority of them, a more “open” mobile platform is—at best—some nebulous advantage of owning an Android phone that some dweeby family member ranted to them about. In reality, they are reality not directly making use of any of that “openness”, instead just using a worse, malware-infested iPhone alternative.
- basch 3y agoAn ad for the product itself is very different than an app sending a third party app as a notification. They absolutely need to enforce the latter as not ok.
- yreg 3y agoMaking marketing notifications a separate permission doesn't really nerf the casino games much. And I believe the "we" refers to far more people than you describe. It's ultimately a question of UX.
- latexr 3y agoThey had rules for this. But apps like Uber never followed them and Apple never enforced it. Then Apple itself started doing it. Then they revised the rule to allow it.
