One disgusting trend I see with many phone apps is notification spam with no fine-grained option to disable them without potentially disabling transactional notifications. Ride-sharing and delivery apps are particularly annoying for this.
I remember the time when phone OSes did not have notification categories but it’s not a useful feature if app developers don’t implement them.
- tomrod 3y agoLooking at you, Uber, and my once-a-month ride somehow equating to 10 UberEats notices per day. Marketers -- you're on notice.
- mattl 3y agoUninstall Uber Eats until you need it again but yes this sucks.
- tomrod 3y agoI don't have Uber Eats app or use the service, but if I could use the marketing cash they offer as currency I'd have a nice chunk of the office rent paid each month.
- TheHappyOddish 3y agoI disabled notifications for Uber years ago for ths, the first time I got a marketing push. It's your phone, and they can tell if you've disabled push. Tell them you're not ok with it.
- tomrod 3y agoI use the notifications for the once-a-month reserved ride I have to take. Else this would be the solution.
