These are so infuriating they should be illegal.

Especially when they come from apps you can't delete like your bannking app.

At least Apple has a rule against push spam, which they toe the line on but it's still a lot less bad than it could be.

Hasn’t seemed to work…

Does it work the way CAN-SPAM is supposed to work (marketing can be unsubscribed from with rules about what constitutes "transactional" messages)?

>>xxr+O
Kinda

"""Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used to send sensitive personal or confidential information. Push Notifications should not be used for promotions or direct marketing purposes unless customers have explicitly opted in to receive them via consent language displayed in your app’s UI, and you provide a method in your app for a user to opt out from receiving such messages. Abuse of these services may result in revocation of your privileges."""

not having a way to divide notification channels, transactional vs promotional, make it worse than android.

Explicitly promotional push isn't allowed on iPhone to begin with. Only exception is if the user enables it via some setting inside your app, separate from the regular permission dialog, which is really unlikely.

Of course you can just pass off promotional stuff as not promotional, but same on Android, and you have to be sly about it.

Or if Apple has a movie they really really want to promote
