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 thread prompted me to look into the Wallet notification settings. There was a setting where Google could send you notifications. I just turned those off. I don’t want them, but I also can’t remember ever getting one.

    I don’t really understand what the controversy is about. If an app abuses its notifications permissions to send me spam, I disable it. The post is right, granular notification settings in Android are great. I carry both android and iOS around every day and iOS notifications just kind of build up and periodically get cleared all at once. Too much noise in there. The android notifications are things I actually care about and want to be notified about in a timely fashion.

      @Nath @gamermanh so, the thing I’m pissed about is that Google doesn’t follow their own guidelines.

      These granular notification settings are implemented by every other payment app, except for GPay.
