A couple of times I’ve been presented with notifications from commercial apps downloaded from the Play store that are very clearly promotional material. Thankfully, Android allows me to block particular notification channels if I swipe the notification lightly and hit the gear icon. I can disable the particular “Promotion” channel.

However, with some apps, the “Promotion” channel is already turned off, and now they’re sending promotions under other channels (“General Notifications”, “System Alerts”). Does anyone else think this is shady enough to report, and how would you go about reporting it?

    Short answer : yes.

    I never reported an app because i mostly use foss apps or just side load modded ones but the app store should have it somewhere.
