I'd rather have some control over apps that don't properly separate their useful and spammy notifications.
You can lead a dodgy developer to a proper API spec but you can't make them use it. I think the only control we have in that situation is the Uninstall button!
I'd prefer that notifications are blocked by default (should be opt-in instead of opt-out). The only apps I NEED notifications for, are messaging apps, everything else is just annoying.
Pretty sure every app has to request notification permission now, so it's pretty easy to opt-out.
Happy to hear that it changed for the better. I'm still on Android 10, where it sadly isn't the default. But thanks for letting me know :)
it is really nice change. I just installed a custom rom with android 14 since my oneplus 6t was stuck with android 11
I really wish there was a easy way to move the notification settings between phones. Always having to manually restore my settings is a chore.
How often do you change phones to make this "always" a problem? I've had my S10+ for 5 years and I can't see myself changing it anytime soon
If you do custom ROMs you know
So you meant installations not phones in your original comment?
Unless you use a different phone every time you try something new
It doesn't matter, it always wipes everything
This is a really tiny QoL feature, slow news day? That said I think it's a good idea and I probably wouldn't have known about it otherwise!
When they start fucking with notifs, I become nervous. I've seen how easily they can f this up. You can't make everyone happy when it comes to to notifs but you can certainly piss off EVERYONE with the wrong choice.
