So there might be the way. It became less reliable on latest samsung phones, but works on pixels afaik."

Whatsapp and Gmail messages often trigger notifications up to 15 minutes after being received for me. Infuriating."

These are defensible but should never ever be mixed with...\n\n3) Stuff I actually explicitly subscribed to.\n\nBreaking these rules should be rejection from the app store. Especially now that Google is legally required to allow 3rd-party app stores, they have much greater grounds to properly curate the Play Store. Let the filth live on 3rd-party stores."
