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?

    Amazon is another poor startup that does that on their Android app.

      Amazon first needs to learn how to make an android app. It’s by far the worst experience I’ve ever had using an app from a big company.

        Why do you need the app on your phone? Just use the website, its perfectly functional on your phone and then you’re not giving them all of the data.

          If you use Amazon Pay then yeah. Otherwise the website is just a better experience overall.

      This made me just realize that I turned off Notifications for the Amazon app at some point and never noticed. 😂

      I’ve just been relying on their emails for getting updates on my orders.

      @Justly0250 bro don’t get me started on the Amazon app. I cannot handle that amount of rage.

      The fact that they’ve made it infinitely more difficult to find the settings in-app is just infuriating.

      Good luck finding anything in the in-app settings.
