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?

    Many apps do actually have those kinda of notification options. Apollo for instance let you choose what notifications you wanted to receive. I’ve seen other apps do the same. Granted, it’s usually within the apps own internal settings and not within their settings page of the Settings app, but they definitely do exist.

    That said, it’s likely more that most devs want you to receive all notifications. “Want to get notified when your balance changes? You also have to see our promotions!” Sounds like a very capitalism thing to do.
