    They’d probably get around that by having a ‘Promotions and Order status’ channel and a random / unused one like an ‘App update available’ channel. Promotional notifications should just really be banned.

    • It should be enough for the Play Store to require any promotional notifications to go to an exclusively promotional channel for users to manage as they please.

      Next stage, would be a “report notification” option, so Google could suspend the app for spamming. That would curb the dark pattern behavior quite quickly.
