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?

    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.

        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.

        @DAMunzy @victron there’s lots of tech stuff only available on Ali, or that are significantly cheaper there because of currency conversions and scalper resellers on other platforms.
