But those damn ads they deliver as notifications! WTF. Why would they do that.
It just reaffirmed my allegiance to Apple.
It's possible you have some Google app running and that's what's doing it? I would look into which apps the notifications are coming from, you should be able to completely eliminate the problem.
I only keep notifications ON for apps that I really really care about, which are mostly communication apps like WhatsApp, Signal etc.
I don't miss a thing. I feel mobile notifications are a cesspit full of crap. Every fucking website or app or game wants to send you notifications, and they're almost always 100% useless.
I use a Samsung phone and I in fact put all the muted apps in "deep sleep" as well.
I get emails, popups, and banners on my iPhone. They're on my lock screen, in the Music app nav bar, and draped across the top of Settings. They repeatedly nag me to upgrade my iCloud storage, try Apple Music, see what's new in Apple TV, and check out their financial services. They hassle me on macOS too.
Windows 10 is tame in comparison. I just got a Pixel phone and it pesters me more than my iPhone did, but not by much.
Or apps that you pay for (Spotify Premium, Tidal) that will constantly bombard you with marketing in-app popups at random times. So instead of listening and enjoying my music, I can accidentally click on one of these landmines and get redirected to something I do not want.
I cancelled Spotify because of this. Will also cancel Tidal after my trial because they just copying the same ugly tactics as Spotify.
So I hope at least they solved this issue for the 8a
Hmm I feel like you missed something. Notifications should not be an issue.
