I have a simple rule. If I install an app and it shows me any notification I don’t want to see, I immediately block it from having permission to do that.
At least Android also proactively asks them whether to disable notifications for an app if they always swipe them away, or if they haven’t used the app in a long time.

Not everyone has figured you can do that by long pressing the offending notification
Same… Have done for ages now. Don’t know how anyone puts up with the default behaviour.
The default now is that apps have to first request notification permissions, on both iOS and Android.
Most users are blindly accepting any and all requests by apps.

Yeah but that’s really their problem. I mean, the OS literally asks them to allow it. What more can you do?
