I would assume you could control the showing of ad notifications and non ad notifications separately as a user.

That's what I'm assuming.

Not only that, but now Apple is probably going to be very aggressive about kicking apps off the app store if they find even a single notification in the non add stream that they, in their sole estimation, consider to be an ad.

This might be a trap feature. I could easily see it being used to allow apple a reason to get rid of you.

  • As a user, good! I hate the fact that there are certain apps that to use properly I have to have push notifications on or it severely restricts the functionality of the app (uber eats for example). Then they send promotional ads to me which I can’t turn off which is really annoying.

    I’m excited for Apple to enforce this policy. Yet another example of Apple being pro user.

    • Why should Apple be the police, they don’t even currently police their apps in a uniform way. So many apps violate the guidelines but are still in the AppStore.

      I welcome the change but I’ve also seen Apple be a bully.
