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?

Can also confirm I do not get ads/promotions from Google Wallet, and Google Pay isn’t an app anymore, so maybe you should make sure you have a legit version. I only get the you just paid notifications, which I would want to get.
Can you show an example of the notifications you’re getting?
Edit: I just bought something, and the purchase notifications actually come from Google Play Services, with the title Google Pay. And there is infact a promotional notifications section.
Gpay is still a thing, possibly what he is referring to.
It’s online only though isn’t it, I don’t have it and can’t find it in the play store, all links for me lead to Google Wallet.
I have GPay and I frequently get notifications telling me to claim their reward points. Those notifications aren’t configurable separately from the payment notifications at the OS level. Super annoying.
@SteveTech I’m from India. Maybe it’s an India thing? I’ve attached a screenshot, but I noticed that the image doesn’t show up on Lemmy if I reply from Mastodon. 🤷🏻♂️
Here’s the screenshot again:
Huh, maybe. Also the screenshot still didn’t show.
