I wish apps would just stop being coy with notification settings. Like it’d be cool to be notified when my eBay order is delivered. But if I just want that, I need to manually disable:
Auction Updates
Offer updates
Order updates
Listing help
Messaging
Personalized recommendations
Rewards and offers
General promotions
Item ending
Item updates
Auction updates
Offer updates
Cart updates
eBay live (whatever the hell that is)
You can flip one switch to disable all, but if you want any one of them, you need to manually disable each and they’re split between four sub-menus.
Multiply this by 20-30 apps because every parking garage and water fountain needs an app now, and it’s a nightmare.

I carry a dumbphone now and wear a Casio.
This is also assuming the app provides granular notification permissions. So many have just one toggle, so you’re stuck with all or nothing.
