Not that it makes it okay for Apple to allow this, but it goes without saying that any app that does this, paid or unpaid, is getting immediately uninstalled.

Or you could just turn off the ads, since the article says apps will be required to have a way to do so.

[bjelkeman-again]

So in fact it is an improvement. As some apps intersperse ads with useful notifications now.

I'd still uninstall the app.

Would you uninstall Uber if they sent you a coupon via push notification?

[onion2k]

I've uninstalled lots of apps when they've sent coupons via notifications. Notifications are to notify me about things I need to act on. They are not a marketing channel. So, yes.

[ajscanlan]

If you had the option to block the marketing notifications but still receive the important ones, would you do that?

[onion2k]

That depends. A business that uses notifications for marketing isn't one I want to do business with. If there's a decent competitor I'll switch. If there isn't then I'll decide to begrudgingly put up with it (and probably complain a bit on social media) or to do without it.

So far I've never put up with it and always either switched to a competitor or abandoned the whole thing.

As long as this option is presented before attempting to display any push ads, and not after.

[foxrob92]

If I could set the default for all apps to "block ad notifications", then yes.

While I got no uber - totally. The taxi service I use sends stuff (receipts mostly) to email - it works well.

[throwaway55554]

Don't have it installed in the first place. Why feed Uber any business at all? It's a trash company.

[whatsmyusername]

Does your app provide real world value like ubers or is it just Tinder for Dogs?

[saagarjha]

Now, if only you could uninstall the system apps that did this without losing critical functionality…
