Push notifications should be a privilege, not a right.

Yeah I feel like they neglected to show how much more of a problem on iOS this is than Android.

On Android apps typically have their push notifications divided into different types and can almost always turn off the marketing notifications for an app while leaving the important ones on.

I dont see even half of these notifications on Android.

Oh, iOS doesn’t have this? I didn’t realise. Android has had this for a good few releases now and I love that.
