That does make it better, but it’s getting so tiring, trying to find those settings for all the different apps, and figuring out whether you can adjust them without losing something you really want. And what’s worse is that the companies always seem to find a way to reset it to what they want quite frequently. One of their tricks is to reorganize permissions frequently so the ones that allow their spam to get through are always new

  Maybe it is time for Apple Intelligence to automatically ignore promotional notifications from apps...but why would Apple do that may be actually helpful?

You can, for now.

  Given that it is currently now, that is all that matters.

    If you're investing your time into unreliable tools that may betray you in the future, it might be reasonable to reconsider.

    ...all that matters now, that is. Maybe Apple changes their mind, it's not like you get to roll back the update.

      "Surely Apple won't react the same way if I'm angry enough over it in the future" is my guess. But we're talking about logic so thin that you could floss your teeth with it.

> turn off notifications about promotions and offers in the wallet app. Is it me, or is Apple is taking a page out of Microsoft's playbook here? It's ironic how every company seems to be converging now. Eventually, they will all become Oracle.

Is this a new thing in iOS? In Android we've had the ability to choose which kinds of notifications an app can send us for years now. It doesn't work very well though. The list of notification types is per-app, many apps just have one catch-all category. And many others don't separate ads from others, presumably to force you into seeing the ads. It's also a huge PITA to manage notification types for 100+ apps.
