Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, "Google Pay". So all the ads, promotions, everything.
3rd party apps like PhonePe & Paytm have a better system.
How do you manage to maintain this OS?

I don't think it does, it's just a quick toggle to disable everything at once. If a category is disabled it gets prioritised.
Awesome! Thanks for that. Now maybe I can turn push notifications back on for Uber Eats and get a notice when they deliver the food, since only about 5% of the drivers will ring the bell. I turned the notifications off because I kept getting advertising pushed to my phone.
Just turn off offers and rewards:
I did that in the past and they reactivated it, or added a new category, or something, because I started getting spam again. I'm trying it out again now. So far, so good.
It's awesome how in the modern world we have to maintain an antagonistic relationship with the things we pay for because they constantly try to goad us into paying for more things.
