    Install app. Start app. “Allow notifications?” No.

    Does iOS not do this?

    Apps that I do allow notifications: when they become annoying I go to the notification, long hold > settings > notification categories. If they only have one category and don’t let me fine tune then I don’t need that app or just don’t need notifications from it. Back to settings I have other ways to customize that can make them less annoying like silence them.

      The article has some valid points about wanting certain kinds of notifications from an app, and hating the spam notifications those apps send.

      However, iOS does indeed allow you to grant or deny an app notifications permission on first launch, and my default is to always deny.

      The only apps I allow notifications for are phone, calendar, messages, my tasks, and my automations (shortcuts and some associated apps)

      iOS does that the first time you open the app. An app never opened can’t send notifications (it wouldn’t have registered).
