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?

    This kind of promotion. Sure, it’s not a frequent issue, but you’re telling me you (Google) maintain an OS where everyone has to follow the rules for a certain way, except you? I call bullshit.

      Can also confirm I do not get ads/promotions from Google Wallet, and Google Pay isn’t an app anymore, so maybe you should make sure you have a legit version. I only get the you just paid notifications, which I would want to get.

      Can you show an example of the notifications you’re getting?

        I have GPay and I frequently get notifications telling me to claim their reward points. Those notifications aren’t configurable separately from the payment notifications at the OS level. Super annoying.
