Users across both iOS and Android express deep frustration that app stores fail to enforce guidelines against notification spam, frequently allowing essential service alerts to be bundled with intrusive advertisements. This lack of oversight is attributed to a "too-big-to-ban" dynamic, where industry giants exploit dark patterns and ignore notification categorization because they are too profitable for platforms to penalize. While some users resort to silencing all notifications or deleting problematic apps entirely, there is a growing demand for stores to mandate a clear separation between marketing and utility-based alerts. Ultimately, commenters suggest that apps violating these standards should face de-platforming or be relegated to third-party stores to preserve the integrity of the primary app ecosystems.
