The reason for Android’s Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application’s notifications.

Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, “Google Pay”. So all the ads, promotions, everything.

3rd party apps like PhonePe & Paytm have a better system.

How do you manage to maintain this OS?

    Best part is when they’re shit and don’t categorize / separate out their notifications into categories I just turn notifications off. If companies want to play by the rules and have properly segmented notifications I’m happy to let some of them through, else they’re all getting disabled

      AliExpress is one of the worst offenders. If you want “useful” notifications (like order updates) you have to put up with their ads and deals bs. I turn them all off.

        Get rid of the app. You really don’t need to buy that cheap shit anyways. I got rid of Alli and temu.

          You have good brands on aliexpress, you just need to be careful before buying. At least better than amazon.
          And yeah delete that app, you don’t need theses fake 10 cents savings with their shitty coin.
